Dropping The Writ
Domino Records
McCombs fourth album starts off with a zinger-of-a-first track titled “Lion Killer”, which has a very Boz Boorer (guitar brandisher for Morrissey) guitar hook to introduce us to his newer, darker, fuller sound. Cass McCombs isn’t a native New Yorker, but he has taken quite nicely to the gritty open-mic institution of the East Coast music scene. I love this new album like I love an apartment with a garbage disposal in the kitchen sink. Thanks to the modern crooner, the world now has the perfect LP for Saturday mornings. “Wheel of Fortune” (Track 11) has plenty of crooning for those who appreciate McCombs’ evident Moz influence. Get it, and don’t quit it. – Kelly D. Williams, Mannerist Zine
