The Great White Jenkins are back (wrote about `em here three years ago). I’m sure that’s solace to only a few of you out there but I hope with each successive release and tour that these guys will broaden their appeal. Catbird Seat was the first to mention their new EP the other day.
“Wind”, from the new EP Mussel Souls, starts simply enough with images of geese taking flight, but once the muted horns start to blare and the band revs up it’s engine with it’s chorus of “cast that shit to the wind” you realize you’re in for a treat. I had a hard time describing this band’s music three years ago and the passing of time hasn’t made it any easier to sum up their sound. Vaudvillian punk perhaps, but the band likes soul-folk…I don’t know….
Buy the new EP here, catch the band at their Chicago show April 16 at The Hideout.
