Freedom Tower: Quietus Review + More

Posted on April 9, 2015 by admin

“Wherever you find Spencer, Simins and Bauer, that’s the epicentre of the party.”

TheQuietus.com have just published a review of The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion album Freedom Tower – No Wave Dance Party 2015.

Link: http://thequietus.com/articles/17584-jon-spencer-blues-explosion-freedom-tower-review

‘Freedom Tower’ – Oh yes baby just dig it, it’s happening like nobody else.

Link: http://www.uberrock.co.uk/cd-reviews/24-april-cd/14209-jon-spencer-blues-explosion-freedom-tower-new-wave-dance-party-2015-bronze-rat-records.html

“…the Blues Explosion wants to get your body moving, and they know just how to do it.”

Link: http://www.popmatters.com/review/191927-the-jon-spencer-blues-explosion-freedom-tower-no-wave-dance-party/

“…Freedom Tower: No Wave Dance Party 2015 still offers up 13 tracks of the band’s mutated blues-funk amalgam, rife with dueling, rubbery riffs and relentless grooves, courtesy of juggernaut drummer Russell Simins”

Link: http://burningambulance.com/2015/04/15/the-jon-spencer-blues-explosion/

“The subtitle of Spencer’s new album is spot on. Spencer’s real genius is bringing the No Wave noise — but with the Blues Explosion’s distorted blues/soul/garage guitar riff to make it funky and even danceable, in a goony tribal-stomp kind of way.”
