Album Review: POW! Negro - Jasmine & Licorice

Those in the know have been waiting for this.

The latest craze from Perth can't seem to decide if they're more plugged into '70s jazz-funk or Rage Against The Machine, and a wonderfully inspired confusion it is too. Hold My Tongue is a divine blast with a beautifully skronky sax crescendo, while the wonky psychedelic passages of Money For Portraits are rudely interrupted by sharp guitar-riff outbursts. Although this EP surely should've been a summertime release, pick it up now as it'll be a collector's item by then.
