Chooglin'

Sweet Time is a deke move of an album. When you think it's going to put the pedal down to the floor, it suddenly jumps from balls-out rock to mournful, almost stripped-to-the-chassis balladry -- and then right on back to jams and the kicking out thereof, because this is Chooglin', the band that has essentially defined local revivalist pre-punk rock over the past few years. The horn-heavy band's grown more eclectic since their self-titled 2006 debut, if a bit more restrained: there's still moments that'll threaten to peel your face off like "You Sucked the Life Out of Me" or "So Stupid" did, especially the "Run to the Hills" rumble of "Hal's Haberdashery". But the downtrodden moments -- the Southern Rock elegy "Waltz in D", the Memphis-soul lament "Nothing to Show", the Southwestern Latin oompah of "Tonight, Alright" -- prove that Chooglin's power doesn't always rely on full-blare rock action. That said, don't expect too many moments during their live show that you could easily label "subdued".
