Grifters
Corolla Hoist 7''
Shangri-la
1992
Rating: 6 controlled farts out of 10
A pair of sludgy Grifters songs, "Corolla Hoist" and "Thumbnail Sketch." Sometimes listening to this band makes you think the record is dragging. Both are enjoyable songs, at least in the sense that anything the Grifters do is enjoyable. In my mind they occupy the same space as folks like Nick Cave or Tom Waits in that I have to be in the right mood for their brand of abrasive rock. But those times when you are in the mood it's pure gold.
