Label: Inner Dunes
Released 2013
Motorcycle-themed dungeon synth. Casios that sound like they are underwater, guitars, small vocals waft in: the singer sounds like a person tied to a chair in a sheet metal garden shed. Layers of floating synth and delay pedal, the sounds of a moped engine. There are some cool moans and parts that are reminiscent of Suicide. Small hypnotic dreamy. Daughters Of The Sun's singer / guitarist Nick Koenigs has been toiling solo as Filthy Huns for a couple quiet years at this point, layering grease-stained drum machines with badlands guitar, mirage keys, and desolate vocals, alternately broke-down and road-burned. His debut is a dusty midnight ride through black hills. “Watch Of The Bear” in particular captures a loner-in-leather mood, headlight off, pushing 70, chasing the horizon under a sea of stars. Elsewhere there's woozy, hungover dub (“Hot Morning”), peyote campfire awakening (“Infinite Ride”) and stoned sunshine raga (“Out Of The Grave"). Barren times on the highway, through darkening deserts.
