No, it’s more a commentary Wake Up Lucid’s dirty blues, which makes precious few compromises when it comes to prettiness. While waiting for a follow-up to their 2012s full-length “Feel It,” the threesome this fall conspired on a split 7-inch via Near Mess Records. With the Dead Ships’ “Golden Room” holding down one side, Wake Up Lucid “Let It Roll” on the other. Also included (and liable to be overlooked) is the digital-only B-side “I Want,” the three-minute scorcher. In the interests of full disclosure, get ’em here.
