Review
Big
Horse I Love You is the debut EP from Aussie Instrumental
Sludge/Stoner Rockers – GOUTS – who feel partially inspired by
bands such as TORCHE, FLOOR and BIG BUSINESS with their heavy riffs
that can be quite sweet-natured one moment and violently aggressive
the next. The EP runs over 20 minutes but there is a lot of fun to be
had despite the short running time.
GOUTS
add a cool sounding Progressive Noise Rock sound to this EP which
allows the band to play a more Psychedelic style of Instrumental
Sludge/Stoner Rock. Despite GOUTS being a two-piece, the band do show
a lot of different styles of music on this album that reminds me of
early-era TORCHE from start to finish.
The
opening two songs – Bike Ride To The Bee Shine and All Hail The Big
Russian – see GOUTS in highly confident form with their Post-Sludge
Rock riffs having a cool build up of different strands of
Sludge/Stoner Rock with the Psychedelic moments appearing towards the
end of the song. You can hear some Post-Rock/Post-Metal influences
coming more into focus especially on All Hail The Big Russian.
There
is a lot more to GOUTS music that you don’t realise to begin with.
As there is a lot going on in the background with the excellent
guitars and drumming from Toby and Julio respectively. I know Toby
primarily from his work with HOTEL WRECKING CITY TRADERS but this is
the first time I’ve heard Julio drumming and he brings an intense style of drumming for Toby to build his riffs upon.
The
EP is an exciting style of addictive Sludge/Stoner Metal which should
keep the Stoner Rock/Metal masses entertained from start to finish.
The EP truly comes alive when the band decide to play a more bolder
and daring style of music especially on Fuck Those Guys and Gulurtak
My Black Metal Friend.
Big
Horse I Love You is an outstanding debut release from the band and
I’ve heard there are plans to release a full length album in 2021.
That’s one I’ll definitely be keeping a lookout for. As GOUTS are
quite an exciting prospect especially if you’re looking for a
kick-ass Instrumental Sludge/Stoner Metal Band with a few cool
original and exciting ideas of their own.
Excellent
and Highly Recommended.
