Sugar Water by Baltimore, Maryland's off kilter psyche grunge rockers Baklavaa is a noise drenched, downward spiral. Like a tornado of sounds it carves out some sonic destruction. At one point, amid shifting tom tom beats, it seems to sparkle with sort of tubular sounds. Maybe they are guitars or maybe keys or maybe bells and at another time against more shifting drums, heavy lead guitars drone. The vox, sometime multiple vox can feel like drug induced wails cutting through the psychedelic dirge or like tribal yelps mirroring the cadence of the drums making it all feel like an alt rock self flagellation. I just wonder if any of this left any lasting scars.
Sugar is from Baklavaa's "Sleep Running" album.
