Pictures Of Baby Jesus Biography
The first time I saw Acid Baby Jesus live -in 2009's Yuria of the exceptional Vinyl Microstore- I didn’t know absolutely anything about them, but I remember how much I liked their sound and the freshness they transmitted as a band.
It’s been awhile since then, and Acid Baby Jesus continue to build an increasingly rich biography. Live performances succeed one after another, their recognition spreading universally (they’ve already done two tours in Europe and America) and now, after last year's first recording attempt on tape, it is time for their first self-titled release on American Slovenly Records
The Acid Baby Jesus LP, the four-man band shows that they are walking together with confidence and faith in their talent, producing 13 songs that are really interesting. Beach Boys’ surf rock, early Beatles carelessness, aura of various 60’s bands, the aesthetic vision of Phil Spector-meeting-Sonic Youth, Jesus And Mary Chains’ “Psychocandy”, post punk vocals, MC5’s vagrant vibe, Last Drive’s dynamism, the attitude of the Stooges, the misty atmosphere and the guitars of Screaming Trees’ ''Even If And Especially When''. It even sounds like Zappa’s wonderful world! (you don’t believe me about the last part huh? listen o the their “Homo Sapiens” track and check again)
It’s obvious that Acid Baby Jesus’ music, and the sound of this particular LP, is a blend of many things, emphasizing especially in the 60’s sound, surf rock and garage. Many bands over the yeas have been attempting to do it, but very few have actually made it sound alike the original - Acid Baby Jesus are doing a terrific job at that. In an interview they gave to M. Hulot, they have characterized their sound as a Mediterranean punk rock. Add that to all the aforementioned, sprinkle them with acid, and then you can get a clearer picture as to what Acid Baby Jesus really are for, and what’s the sound you are gonna meet upon listening to their self-titled LP.
Get your hands on it.
[A second review for the same album by Christos M.]
This year's records production of indie and solo Greek artists were plenty and full of quality. Here come Acid Baby Jesus, who have just released their first album on Slovenly records and they are getting ready for some worldwide reviews.
The LP, is consisted of thirteen high-octane tracks that run on the familiar psychedelic and garage sounds, dear to the Greek rockers for years.
What Acid Baby Jesus achieve in this LP, and perhaps not deliberately, is to easily sound more '60 'as by similar sound bands.
This high-fidelity copy of cheap and dirty garage sound which can be heard on this debut, but even more so in the last year's first release (the self-titled tape) is the most interesting part - it is what makes ACID BABY JESUS to stand out for the last three years in a herd of domestic and U.S. bands.
This is not pretentious lo-fi garage sound - it is what comes out of the chemistry between the band members, the instinct that guides them, and the result of producers that have no specific orientation in their sound.
From the eponymous tape, they have kept the "distortion" in their sound, but they have learned to use all of their influences, which, apart from the classic punk garage/psychedelic standards, there are some country references, stoner metal and blues elements.
They have used their influences so correctly, that the final audible result apart the strength, confidence and excitement, has the personal touch of the band all over it.
If last year we were stoked with the rawness and immediacy of records such as Nerve City, this year with the case of Acid Baby Jesus, everything tops up a level.
Their rock sound has the spark of the founders of the genre, the hurricane of bands in the garage revival of the 80’s, and the reboot of the sound under a more primitive light of the current generation of lo-fi bands such as Thee Oh Sees, Nerve City and other garage-nostalgia, which puts the wild joy of rock back into place.
The Greek representatives this year, Acid Baby Jesus, seem to know, as if they were born for this, much more. Their first album is the most comprehensive and courageous album of its kind. It really excites me the thought of this LP to be the reference for the next generation of rock in 20 years.
This is a big leap and I might regret for saying this, but I cannot ignore how great this LP sounds after twenty listenings.
Definitely, one of the best rock experiences of the year.
