Boss Hog – Brood X: News Feature / Reviews

“Brood X feels less like the work of a group who’ve been on ice for so long, more a slithering and sludgy monster of an album, a boiling pot of hot funk keys, growling punk attack, searing blues breaks and the ground-shaking holler of Martinez.”

“Brood X è un disco vizioso, trasgressivo, anticonformista e pregno di quella sessualità selvaggia che solo poche altre band sono riuscite ad eguagliare, figuriamoci superare…” – rocklab.it

“Has it been 17 years since the last Boss Hog album? Well, the gloomy doomy opener of Brood X lets you know right off the bat, they’re not taking any prisoners.” – Soundblab

““Billy” kicks it off as a statement of purpose, and “Signal” is a pure blast of icy no-wave proto funk.” – TheOwlMag.com

“The songs bristle with scuzzy riffs, distortion and middle-aged antagonism at a changing world.” – ft.com

“Boss Hog have nothing to prove to the current generation but prove it anyway.”

“Brood X is not only their strongest work but a darkhorse contender for album of the year.”

“Zo goddelijk goed en goor met die inmiddels zeldzame maar enige juiste NY street spirit…”

“Ça donne un album de rock authentique qui fera plaisir à entendre dans une fin de soirée embrumée par l’alcool.”

Link: http://lecanalauditif.ca/critique-boss-hog-brood-x/

“The New York blues-punks return with their first new album in nearly two decades—a powerful showcase for singer Cristina Martinez and the fiery, apocalyptic buzz in her wake.”

“…while the lock-step battery of bassist Jens Jurgensen and drummer Hollis Queens effortlessly alternate between a galloping death-disco and a gut-punching thrust. And then Finn’s ray-gunned keys thread it all together like a B-52’s channeling Richard Kern instead of Ed Wood.” – Pitchfork

Link: http://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/23051-brood-x/

““This is an emergency!” howls Martinez on Elevators, a panic-pumped anthem that sounds like Parliament’s polymorphic party music fed through the Bomb Squad’s sound system. She’s not wrong. But don’t worry – Boss Hog have what you need. They always have. So you’d better be thankful they’ve awoken again.

The aim of Boss Hog, however, remains the same: to have fun, and to make noise. And they’ve never sounded so great…” – The Breakfast Spread, PBSFM

“Boss Hog a effectué un des meilleurs come-back de cette année, n’en déplaise à The Jesus & Mary Chain ou encore Slowdive.” – Les Oreilles Curieuses

“Rüde, raffiniert, schmutzig, mit griffigen Melodien: „Elevators To The Lobby!“ Dann runter in die Garage. Partytime.” – MusikReviews.de
