Watch Out For Rockets
Beasts With Hearts Of Gold is a beautiful little gem of a record. Jammed pack with twenty (yes, twenty) songs, it travels the distance between the beginnings of Guided by Voices and early Spoon with unpretentious ease. “Heart Poppers” is particularly Spoon-esque, David Jones’ voice sounding so much like young Brit Daniel it’s eerie. “Ready the Horses” is another stand-out track, epic guitar hooks sweeping through the lo-fi aesthetic ease. With all the fuss over Texas-based modern garage rock in the last year or so, it’s nothing short of amazing these guys haven’t been publicly adored yet. There’s exactly the right amount of nonchalance, humor and talent here to keep even the casual listener hooked all the way to track twenty.
