Freakapuss/ Sic Alps
split single Drag City Records 7”

Article written by Ged M - Dec 19, 2012

This is another strange but exciting combo-disc from Drag City. First up is the shaggy dog story ‘Here Today Here Tomorrow’ from Freakapuss, a.k.a. Zarjazz from Tronics. This mixes his cultured Pete Astor-like vocals with a Bo Diddley beat, producing something very entertaining but of doubtful musical sanity. It’s paired with ‘New Trawgs III’ by Sic Alps, which is stoner pop with a mellow edge that just keeps getting fuzzier with each verse. This is Freakapuss’s first release, and Sic Alps’ uncounted latest one, and both are well worth hearing.
