That Morphine 2-string slide bass, drenched in Stoogey hypnosis - it's a record full of menace and slinking sex.
Those structures, with their abnormal patience, their horn squonks, call up Menomena's Deeler experiments.
Monique Ortiz's vocals, stunning live, don't quite lift off the record, leaving a hole where its dark, mechanical heart should be.
I guess a hole's pretty menacing. That should almost work better. I give it a hole-plus 3/5
