Review
The
whole outlook for their new album No God To Save and for Steak
themselves can be summed up in the opening moments of first track
Overthrow, a series of blissed out and fuzzy riffs that creep along
in a hazy but focused stance but then simply explode in a triumphant
wave of fuzz laden brilliance.
It's
this fuzz laden brilliance that is the key to Steaks outrageously fun
music and it continues through No God To Save. From that starkly
triumphant and unforgettable opener, the band are on an upward
trajectory from which they threaten to never come down from, if you
like your riffs meaty (no pun intended, meaty is the only way to
describe Steak's riffs) then this is the album to listen to.
The
tracks Coke Dick, Clones and King Lizard follow and all have that
same blissed out feeling as the albums opener with riffs to match
and an epic feel that threatens to burst out of the speakers at any
point. The band like to keep the listener engaged and just when you
think their music on this album can't get any better, the albums
centrepiece, the monolithic Living Like A Rat emerges and consumes
all in its path, with riffs that could destroy planets.
The
tracks that follow especially Creeper and Wickerman are just as
strong and the album has to be listened to as whole from start to
finish to get its true value (no picking and choosing tracks here)
and when the album winds up with the sublime The Ebb, you will be
left in a state of riff appreciating awe and you can pick your head
and your jaw off the floor.
Steak
have a triumphant vibe about their music and you can't help but feel
inspired when listening to their music and this is definitely feel
good music in its purest form.
Bringing
the Californian desert vibes to the U.K, Steak have created an album
to be treasured with No God To Save and with the halfway point to
this year rapidly upcoming, have made a strong and clear stake for
the album of 2017, its that good so go get it, turn up loud and bask
in its innate fuzzy glory.
