Munki

Munki

You just can't keep a good doom-and-gloomer down. In a career that began with the white-light, white-heat explosion of <i>Psychocandy</i> back in '85, the Reid Brothers--singer Jim and guitarist William) have rarely allowed any rays of sunlight to disrupt their rainy feedback parade. Until <i>Munki</i>, that is. Label-less for a couple of years, the Reids reassessed their situation with the self-financed <i>Munki</i> and saw that life, at least for the time being, was good. Trips back to childhood, reflections on the joys of rock 'n' roll, analysis of the optimistic reasons they made <i>Psychocandy</i> in the first place--it's all here on the relatively upbeat <i>Munki</i>. Shocking, but fun. <i>--Tom Lanham</i>
