DOWNLOAD: TK Webb & The Visions - Teen Is Still Shaking
Last year during CMJ I managed to wander over to a room of fellow longhairs at the Glasslands Gallery in Brooklyn to catch TK Webb and his band, The Visions, shred so hard that their amps broke. Well actually, it was just TK’s amp that broke, but dude was rocking and strumming and bending so hard that the thing just damn fell off the stage and it sounded like the whole place had exploded. Undeterred, TK just picked the thing back up, kicked it a few times, and started his next song. I don’t think that song was “Teen Is Still Shaking” but I wish it had been—a righteous slow-tempo wailer with huge, rotund drums, liquid sheets of Mellotron and down-home picking that slides between Keef and Kurt and and the Pixies’ Joey Santiago. Webb does his best J. Mascis impression to conjure images of paranoia and boredom, but he seems too utterly lost in the jam to really care: “How did we get here?/ Am I gonna die here?/ I can hear the Lord laughing.” The song's from the band’s new album Ancestor, due September 2nd through Kemado, so make sure you grab this mind-melter to hold you over for the pending ear drum assault.
Sounds like: The Black Angels, Dinosaur Jr., Dark Meat
