From the very first tune, you know this is going
to be a weird album. Jake Orrall of the two-piece Nashville band
(neither of whose members are named Jeff, actually) snarls, "I want a
place where I can smoke meats." It makes no sense at all, much like the
Brother Orrall's (Nicknamed the Bogus Bros by fans) other lyrics. But,
the brothers aren't new to the business aspect of music either; Jake
runs a record label, Infinity Cat Recordings, which has released such
artists as PUJOL and Cy Barkley. Their first brotherly recording, a 2002
CD by the Sex (their first band), shows their raw punk upbringing at a
young age. They also released a single and a live LP on Jack White's
Third Man Records in 2011. To sum up the boys in two words, Nashville
reps. On their 7th studio album, their sound progresses much from
2011's We Are the Champions, and it is produced by
mega-music-mogul Dan Auerbach of the Black Keys. When most people hear
that Auerbach produced an LP, they think of an overproduced album by an
artist who just needs the extra push. Luckily, this new jam collection
shows that nothing will change Jeff and their punk ways. I think that's a
pretty good thing.-Originally published in the Detroit Metro Times on September 12th, 2012
