The Social End Products – Nutre Tu Cabeza (2013) review

The Social End Products “Nutre Tu Cabeza” (Radar Eye,
2013)
The debut full-length from this Greek neo-psychedelic
quintet ticks all the right boxes to recreate and expand upon the delicious
sounds of 60s garage psych with a slightly punky undertone, a la Brian
Jonestown Massacre dissected by Green On Red. Stinging guitar lines weave
around omnipresent organ flourishes and singing drummer Sta Stea has just the
right degree of snarky eloquence in his voice to solicit favourable comparisons
to the likes of Chocolate Watch Band’s Dave Aguilar and The Seeds’ Sky Saxon.
               All the
vocals are in English and their song titles illustrate their self-confessed
interest in Satanism and lysergics, e.g., “I’m Strange”, “Slit Your Wrist”
(featuring a gnarly fuzz solo), “Rise From The Dead”, “She’s Off Drugs, She’s
So Boring.” There’s also a distinct Stonesy swagger throughout the album that
transports the listener back their late-60s output, ca. Aftermath through Let
It Bleed.
               Fans of
everything from 60s garage psych to the paisley underground take note – the
sound is alive and well and flourishing in Athens!
