Description

Get beyond the ridiculous name and doubly ridiculous concept--in brief: the Dandy Warhols invented rock'n'roll sometime not long after World War One--and Odditorium Or Warlords Of Mars finds these Portland stoners on trippy good form. Gone is the arch social satire that drove numbers like "Bohemian Like You", but agreeably present and correct is the lust-for-life edge that powered the shoegaze-tinged popscapes of early Dandys albums like 1995's Dandys Rule OK? The epically-stoned "Love Is The New Feel Awful" sets the tone, Courtney Taylor-Taylor's breathy vocals sprawling luxuriantly acrossmore… the song's first six minutes, before everything gradually disintegrates in a bad trip of caterwauling free-jazz trumpets; meanwhile, "Smoke It" - a rambunctious, party-time hymn to hedonism - further enhances the narcotically-enhanced mood. Arguably, the album's highlight comes with "All The Money Or The Simple Life Honey" - a Stonesy, number that builds from minimal beginnings into a horn-laden anthem beamed in from some seedy `60s pool-hall. Over a decade in the game and the Dandy Warhols still sound like they're having a ball: either it's something they put in the water in Portland, Oregon, or the drugs are still most definitely working - Louis Pattison
