Stream: Bass Drum of Death, ‘White Fright’

0

John Barrett is not the first songwriter to unleash every ounce of neuroses and rage in caustic guitars and furious rhythms, and considering his generation’s affection for all things garage he won’t be the last. But in tandem with drummer Colin Sneed as Bass Drum of Death he has a knack for making them sound like pop songs. The Oxford, Miss., duo is already working on a follow-up to last spring’s debut on Fat Possum Records, and while Bass Drum of Death would probably take a whupping from JEFF the Brotherhood in a battle of the two-pieces, we’re suckers for “White Fright.”
