Album Review: POW! Negro - Jasmine & Licorice

Christopher H James

"The latest craze from Perth can't seem to decide if they're more plugged into '70s jazz-funk or Rage Against The Machine."

POW! Negro Profile

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.
