..:: #1 - Man Man - Dark Arts ::..
The five person, warpaint wearing troupe Man Man is back with their fourth album and it is absolutely their best one yet. “Dark Arts” is the standout track on Life Fantastic and it is frantic, sinister, and utterly brutal. Organ and bass stride along urgently, marimba mallets go flying through the air, all manner of dishware are smashed. Frontman Honus Honus recounts his latest vision quest, brought on by a drug fueled motorcycle accident and if you’d like to go along for the ride, you’d better make sure you’re strapped in. As each chorus brings us closer to the edge of the cliff, Spanish guitar fills and frenzied yelps separate Honus’ repeated call and response query of “Can you feel it?” If you heed any advice in 2012, do yourself a favor and catch these guys the next time they come through your neck of the woods so you can answer him back with your own shout of ”I can feel it!” You’ll be glad you did. Best Moment: “Mister dagger meet mister BAACK. Inseparable, together at LAAST!” at 2:19.
