More Eagles Of Death Metal More Eagles Of Death Metal

Baby Duck and Boots Electric are back with Zipper Down, and continuing on where they left off, Eagles Of Death Metal have pushed their retro-swagger-rock-and-shimmy party vibe even further.

The good times tone is apparent instantly with the funky riff of Complexity, the scenester-smashing Silverlake (K.S.O.F.M), and the fuzzy garage cover of Duran Duran's Save A Prayer, finding just the right mix of debaucherous lyrics and ludicrous themes. Eagles Of Death Metal may never have been intended to be taken too seriously but with boogie beats this fine, why the hell not?
