SOMEBODY'S KNOCKING

Now in it s sixth year Ten Bands One Cause returns in 2019 with a new set of ten artists issuing their albums on pink colored vinyl LP to help raise cancer awareness in support of Gilda s Club NYC - named after comedian Gilda Radner who passed away from cancer at the age of 43 in 1989. This year s limited pink vinyl are from John Prine Third Eye Blind Spiritualized Sunn O))) Amanda Palmer Courtney Marie Andrews Mark Lanegan Saves The Day Colter Wall and Lacuna Coil. From the opening bars of quot;Disbelief Suspensionquot; onwards it s clear that Somebody s Knocking is an album made by someone deeply obsessed with how music - with all it s primal spiritual healing power - truly penetrates the soul. As a result there s joy in the music as if created from a perfect set of inspirations smashed and grabbed from God s own record shop. Some of the influences are oblique others direct and fully respectful. From the Raw Power-esque garage metal grind of that opener to quot;Letter Never Sent squot; rocket-powered take on Love-era kaleidoscope-psych through the pensive subterranean murk of quot;Dark Disco Jagquot; and on to quot;Playing Nero squot; sun-bleached riff on Joy Division s quot;Atmosphere quot; there s the glee of infatuation running deep in the tracks.
