Butterbean Crypt EP Fortuna Pop! 10”/download

Article written by Ged M - Nov 17, 2011

For a side-project, CRAB is intensely satisfying for the listener, with great original tunes and the coolest covers. ‘Walkin’ To The Cemetery’ is a stunning self-penned garage-growler, full of stabbing organ riffs and menacing guitars, while everyone gets to do a solo or a scream. They interpret the Beau Brummels’ 'Gentle Wanderin Ways', a song only found on a compilation of rare BB tracks and here transformed from its country rhythms into pulsating pop-psych with an astounding guitar riff. They also cover the 1968 obscurity ‘As Pure As The Freshly Driven Snow’ by Whistler, Chaucer, Detroit and Greenhills as the loveliest baroque-pop. And they finish with the mournful ‘Memory Grave’, a folk rock tune with an acidic undertone. Here’s hoping that Cinema Red and Blue keep adding new features to their programme.
