Album Review

Japanese Voyeurs – Milk Teeth

• 22nd Nov 2010

Moody, backward gazing, new wave, spirited femme provocation with the odd nod, wink and snarl at Queen Adreena and Siouxsie and the Banshees encapsulates the spirit of the gruelling and sometimes reflective, ‘Milk Teeth’.

The rumbling bass-lines of Johnny Seymour and gritty percussion of Steve Wilson that touches Metallica level at times, matching the occasional grizzly vocal injection from Romily Alice. Spasms of Kitty spewing the term “Fresh Meat” adds to the potency on show in this advert for the pending debut album, ‘Yolk’.

Some soul backing, wandering guitar led instrumental touchs provide a change of pace and focus for the racing indie/alt rocking, ‘Godzilla’. It sees Romily Alice is giving this sub-two minute teaser oodles of playful spirit and the odd foxy nudge.

Japanese Voyeurs mingle the lurid with the salacious, the paranoid and the sordid. Providing for an alternative to your run-of-the-mill rock, indie and alt’ music.

Rating: 3.5/5
