Released earlier this year, the new King Dude album sees them embracing even more the rock side. of their music, without leaving the country/folk side that's been present from the beginning. The sound is still influenced by Johnny Cash, but this time with large amounts of Tom Waits in to the cauldron, creating truly catchy songs such as Clooven Hooves (Of Fear), Bottomless Pit or Fear Is All You Know. The themes remain the same, with stories of occultism mixed with love, fear and everyday life. Since we don't have a new Tom Waits album this year, this might very well be our salvation! |
