The Review:
Calling back to a simpler time, a time to
just veg out with headphones implanted firmly in your ears while examining
album artwork and floating blissfully on a cloud of riffs, Dirt Woman unleash their latest
work of fuzzed out psychedelia on a world desperately in need of a
distraction. “The Glass Cliff” invites
you in with welcoming arms and let's the listener settle into a comfortable bed
of fuzz that is very difficult to rise from.
At once classic and modern, Dirt Woman
offer up a delightful and refreshing sound to the doom metal world. With fuzz drenched riffs pounding into a
peaceful atmosphere crafted by the hypnotizing vocals of Zoe Koch, “The
Glass Cliff” is a sonic work of art.
In addition to providing uniquely surreal vocal stylings, Koch shares the riff work with guitarist Gabe
Solomon and bassist Kearny Mallon, keeping a lock on their 70's inspired doom
riffs and thrilling listeners with thought provoking lead parts. Drummer Avery
Mallon is in no way to be overlooked with his eclectic grooves and subtle
variations keeping things interesting throughout the album's longer
dirges.
Powerhouse album opener “Lady of the Dunes” gets things rolling
with stoney jams and earth shaking riffs.
Koch's vocals really shine upon their introduction, so be on the lookout
and be prepared to be impressed. A brain
rattling bridge dripping in several different flavors of fuzz takes the already
amazing track to the next level. It's a
wonder that the rest of the album can keep up this level of creativity and
workmanship, but it does so with ease.
