Vancouver based MANIC ATTRACTS (Featuring Current/Ex- members of Dead
Ghosts, Shimmering Stars, Time Copz and Chains Of Love) crawl out of
their scuzz ridden lair to pollute the world with their toxically surfy,
sort of jangly, spaced out mess. 'Eyes Wide Shut' contains a barrage of
snarling feedback and distortion that blurs the lines between
psychedelic downer pop and their warped take on garage rock. The guitar
tones alone sound like they were played through heavy Fuzz boxes with,
both, the pedals and amps set to 'Rawer Than Hell'. Awesomely primitive
sounds that make a nice, warm, fuzzy canvas for the spacey, shambolic
gloomyness of the music. It's like they've adeptly deconstructed the
best parts of the Cramps, Velvet Underground, Zombies and the Stooges;
washed those parts in twangy, backwoods grit; threw in some wierdo,
warbled backwards guitar slides and reassembled everything into a dark
and dusty soundscape that just works.
