intro
Uncommercial and decidely odd choice of first single from Portland stoners Dandy Warhols new album 'Odditorium or Warlords of Mars'
'Smoke It !', the first single off Portland stoners Dandy Warhols new album 'Odditorium or Warlords of Mars' is very rock 'n' roll, so much so that much of it sounds simply like a jam workout. There isn't one main vocal, but it does have a disjointed 70s' Stones feel. It is a very weird and decidely uncommercial choice for a first single. 'Throaty Numan' has a very distorted vocal, and again involves lots of keyboards and special effects. It is once more very experimental. ' Wie Gehts (live)' sounds like a spaced out Spiritualized. It is the strongest of the three tracks, but far too short. To be able to get into it, psychedelia should be far longer.
