Degüello

Greasy Texas blues-rock. Minimalist, high-swagger grooves that bridge the gap between 70s grit and the band's soon-to-be-iconic 80s polish.

The ultimate 'cool guy' record that makes you want to buy a vintage Cadillac and a pair of dark shades.

Unflappable confidence mixed with a playful, slightly eccentric sense of humor.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The iconic, filtered guitar riff of Cheap Sunglasses that feels like putting on a pair of dark lenses

The bizarre, pitch-shifted 'robot' vocals on Manic Mechanic that signal the band's future electronic experiments

The effortless transition from the soul-cover groove of I Thank You into the swaggering blues of the rest of the record
