Sweet Sour

Band of Skulls

Massive fuzz-drenched riffs meet interlocking male-female harmonies. A high-voltage blend of gritty blues-rock and polished indie swagger.

It's like The White Stripes and Fleetwood Mac had a very loud, very cool baby in a British garage.

A high-tension balance of aggressive garage rock grit and soaring, melodic vocal beauty.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The massive, sludge-thick bass riff that opens the title track, setting a heavy, rhythmic tone for the entire record.
The transition from the aggressive stomp of 'The Devil Takes Care of His Own' into the sprawling, psychedelic atmosphere of 'Wanderluster'.
The delicate vocal interplay on 'Lay My Head Down' where the harmonies provide a soft counterpoint to the album's usual grit.
