Originally released in 2008, the Swiss industrial rock pioneers have reimagined their past material with instruments you'd likely find people tapping away at around a fire in Glastonbury - it's a far cry from the avant-rock high-voltage set up we're used to seeing with them. Nevertheless, they pull it off brilliantly. On 'Our House' they marry the Hang with unhurried arpeggio picking that sounds like a homage to the original Spanish guitar. 'I'm The Drug' takes a hypnotic, desert-rock approach and is adorned with jaw-dropping lead guitar runs. With this album a celebration of the acoustic guitar, it's fitting that they pay tribute to one of the all-time gods of the instrument: Richie Havens. They do justice and then some to his iconic cut 'Freedom'. A track that Havens famously performed at The World Says No To War in Iraq demo in New York City in 2003. The raw delivery that The Young Gods muster with their cover shows they have sincere affinity with said legend and are truly commanding of the stage even with more humble gear.
