The Texas
Chainsaw Dust Lovers
(TTCDL) are from Paris but they do love the aesthetics of the American desert,
the ambience of Ennio Morricone’s music and heavy riffs. They self-describe
their music as heavy desperado rock n roll and I have no objections with that.
“Me
And The Devil”
is their debut album and their excitement is evident. They play high energy
rock and the riffs some times are close to the stoner sound and others to the
hard rock sound. Every now and then there is a rockabilly riff and lead
melodies that take the listener to a saloon, with a drink in hand, enjoying
some poker while eyeballing the one on the other side of the table. Maybe he is
cheating. I don’t know.
Some
songs have tremendous riffs and are perfect for having fun. “Summer Spleen” has a great core riff
throughout the song and it grabs you. “My
lover of the moon” is a more laid back rock n roll song that could
accompany a road trip while driving on wide and open roads and the sky is clear
with the sun warming the roof of the car. It helps the listener relax and have
fun with some nice rock tunes.
The
album moves on the radio friendly and fun rock and roll sound, like Clutch and
QOTSA, and they did work on the riffs and the hooks and the catchy vocal lines
but they are not that good. Even though I have no complain concerning the
composition of the songs, they do not stick with me, they do not call me back.
It is a nice album, with a number of good tunes, riffs, solos and atmosphere
and that by itself is adequate; a good rock album for fans of the stoner and
rock sound.
