Patti - bad back
Description
Debut EP from this band out of Oakland, though I'd forgive you for thinking they?re from Minneapolis as they sound strikingly similar to Uranium Club. Rhythmically, Patti have more of a Minutemen / Suburban Lawns-type white funk swing to them, but the deadpan vocals and Krautrock-ish way of riding simple, repetitive riffs will do any Uranium Club fan right.
The bass lines, guitar lines, and vocal patterns are uniformly interesting, but one place Patti excel is in writing cool bridge parts. Most of the songs on Bad Back have a middle section about 3/4 of the way through where the song goes to some strange, unexpected place. The transitions are fluid, so you find yourself thinking, ?wait, is this the same song?? until they drop back into one of the familiar parts from earlier in the song.
Having that sense of movement and development to the song takes what would have been an interesting collection of riffs and makes them into something more than that, a set of musical stories that unfold in front of you.
This is top-notch egg punk, so even if you only mess with the hits like Uranium Club and Coneheads this is worth checking out.
Tracklist:
01 Voodoo
02 Losing Color
03 Seperate/Operate
04 Snowball
