Health&Beauty - Shame Engine / Blood Pleasure on CD

Description

A good chunk of the beautifully scorching new album was cut right after a quartet version of the group-with guitarist Jake Acosta, drummer Seth Vanek, and bassist Bill Satek-had finished an intensive three-week tour at the end of 2017. The new album conveys a directness and scorching power that seems to stem from the band's live performances, whether the harrowing, droning blues of the opener "Saturday Night" or the soulful Irish-tinged folk-rock of "Recourse." In reality, Shame Engine / Blood Pleasure is simply the latest chapter in an evolving tome, but it's absolutely the most gripping and satisfying instalment in that process yet.
