  • We Say...

    They come off like clowns in fanzine interviews, but on record Oakland's Drunk Horse are anything but. The band has the best two-guitar attack in the genre, infernally precise in its recreation of crunching harmonization. The first half of In Tongues has much of the thick woody guitar tone of early ZZ Top. Listen close and you'll swear there's a blasting classic rock single embedded in the bunch if only the singer would take some vocal lessons. But "Skydog" is the real reason to pay attention. Departing from the rest of the record's style, it soars and roars off into flashy hard jazz fusion, tapping into sounds from Jeff Beck/Jan Hammer collaborations and Return to Forever's Romantic Warrior. For crying out loud, the band even worked an angry and whirring synthesizer, or an axe that sounds like one else, into the no-holds-barred jam.
