Mutautu - Basement Tapes EP (2017)
Does Finland have a desert? Some very solid slices of legit OG desert rock here. I usually get pretty bored with some of the new 'desert rock' stuff coming out, but this is right up my alley. The production is pretty cool, you can tell they spent some time on the guitars, but vocals and drums sit pretty far back, and might just be a bunch of condenser mics in a room? Either way, it works, don’t change!
First track “Outskirts” is riff-heavy, and reminds me a bit of the later Kyuss stuff in terms of maturity. Second track “TAHMA” adds a bit more sludge to the mix and overlays a handful of keys on top, with some really great back-and-forth guitar work. Last track “Spaceroller” almost has an Earthless quality to it, but much more concise. Everything rocks, but each in a different way, pretty cool. A pretty solid 3-track EP here, some great driving music, and I'm excited to see what they come up for the LP.
