Lou Dog High Speed Secrets
(Home Brew Jams)
Comparisons to
the Velvet Underground may come easy when listening to�Strangled By The
Same�, the opening track on High Speed Secrets.But they would be
inaccurate. While that track�s chord progression might bear a strong
resemblance to �Heroin�, the delivery is much closer to Roky Erickson�s
anguished version of the song than the Velvet�s original.This is not art
school music.
If there is a
flaw on High Speed Secrets, it is that Dog�s lyrics tend to be
cumbersome at times. There is a certain beauty in space and Dog rarely
leaves any. When he does, like on �She�s Like The Sea,� theresults
are stunning.
A home-grown
recording which alternates between the pop/psych leanings ofearly Pink
Floyd and fuzz drenched primal rock, High Speed Secretsshould appeal to
music fanatics that prefer music created in a garagerather than in Andy
Warhol�s art factory. It certainly did to me.
Grade: B
