Blacklab 'Under The Strawberry Moon 2.0'

Fuzz, fuzz, fuzz, doom, stoner, more fuzz.

Welcome to the world of Blacklab.

Blacklab describe themselves as the Dark Witch Doom Duo from Osaka Japan'.

However, when it comes to witches, they are more the spectral Sadako from The Ring'than campy Countess Dracula'. Chilling cool with built in overdrive.

A full frontal assault of distorted riffs, howls and ghostly vocals, as well as bags of riot girrl attitude and lo-fi bravado.

Being nominally a Doom'band, expect a bucket load of Sabbath worship for sure, but Blacklab have a vibe and experimental undertow akin more to their countrymen Boris'and the souped up lo-fi fuzz of Ty Segall or Comets On Fire.

Tracks like Black Moon'Hidden Garden'Spoon'Symptom Of The Blacklab'(which starts like Sabbath - ¦ then thrashes somewhere else), twist, burn and boil into the red. His Name Is - ¦'is a churning chunky throb. Spoon'and Warm Death'offer moments of relief and crushing noise.

And Big Muff'is - ¦ well - ¦ 9 minutes of drum-less fuzz, that will probably do serious damage to your speakers.

What's not to love. 

Blacklab are: Yuko Morino, guitar and vocals. Chia Shiraishi, drums.
