Imperial State Electric LP - Reptile Brain Music (Violet Vinyl)

Imperial State Electric - Reptile Brain Music 'Reptile Brain Music' - Imperial State Electric's third studio album, was originally released in 2013. Clocking in at a little over 33 minutes RBM boasts a dozen tracks of their particular and peculiar rock'n'roll. The album is bookended by two high-energy live favourites, 'Emptiness into the Void' and 'Down in the Bunker' in a classic Andersson style. However, the less obvious songs within also reveal some unexpected treats. The heavy Blackmoresque 'Faustian Bargains' showcases some unexpected time signatures. 'Dead Things' feels like Beatles meets horror movie soundtrack (Fred Estby contributes lyrics). While the frantic 'Born Again' is far from pious, delivering a blistering blow to religion. RBM also shows the further development from solo project into a full-fledged band with multiple songwriters and different lead vocalists. Tobias Egge opens new doors with his contribution 'Stay the Night' and Rudolf de Borst screams lead vocals for the wonderfully primitive title track - 'Reptile Brain'. Disc 11.
