    Putting on a new Cosmic Psychos album is like finding a pair of your
flatmate's skid-marked undies in your washing basket - it's disturbing, you
worry that they might have soiled your good going-out shirt, but it's
something that you have to deal with, even if it means fetching lead-lined
gloves and a pair of industrial tongs to minimise your exposure.
The Psychos are an ugly sounding band - maybe more so than most of their
contemporaries. They lack the primal force of X at their peak, or the
reckless trajectory of feedtime - and scarcely bear comparing to all those
smack blues bands that used to populate Melbourne pubs and the Evil Scar in
Sydney - but there's a consistently focused edge in what the Psychos do that
makes them sound more than a little wired and seriously unhinged. When Ross
Knight sings about sending a former drummer to meet his maker ("Kill Bill")
by severing his head, you just know he means it.
While the band (not unexpectedly) contends that 1997's "Oh What a Lovely
Pie" was their best album to date before "Cruet" popped its ugly head out
and copped a slap on the arse from the doctor for its trouble, I don't buy
that. "Pie" seemed a warmed-over version of the one that went before,"Self
Totalled" (1995), and suffered from a lack of songs. No such criticism this
time out. You might gasp in disbelief but the band have managed to write
some tunes this time around, without tempering the intensity of their
attack.
That attack's alive as ever on "Panic Song", where the insanity that X
summoned up on "Going Crazy" similarly leaps out the speakers and bashes its
head against the walls of the rubber room. How can you not like a song with
a title like "Drinking With the SAS"? A guitar-simulated Blackhawk approach
yields to a martial drumbeat and a huge wall of sound that's archetypal
Psychos. Lyrics like "Last round/Man down/Hands and knees/Bucket please"
make every post a winner.
Knighty's fuzz bass runs rampant on "Last Round" and "Mortician", while "The
Shed" comes across like the Tatts on a country bent with Robbie Watt's slide
carving a whole in your head. "Letter to My Liver" possibly doesn't live up
to its illustrious title, but I might just have to have a drink, think about
it and get back to you on that.
Watts' guitarwork is always cool and he comes into his own on the closing
"Nevere Give In", which could grow into an anthem to rival "Come On Cunt"
(if you're new to this band, I'm not joking with that last song title).
Production isn't a million miles away from "Pie", although the fuzz bass
being toned down on a few tracks might upset some purists. (If you have to
take exception, quibble with drummer Dean Muller's tinny snare sound but,
really, it's a minor bitch). On balance, Lindsay Gravina's work behind the
desk is fairly spiffing.
One of my fave moments in the last 15 years of gig going was to sit in the
VIP area at Eastern Creek Racetrack in Sydney and see the Cosmic Psychos
absolutely lay waste to headlining megabores Pearl Jam (hey, if the ticket
was free you would have gone too). On the album front, it's been nearly a
decade between drinks. Who would have thought? Do us a favour guys, and
don't leave it so long. (The Barman/i94bar.com)
