Sensuous surf garage from Minneapolis. Murder Shoes' new self-titled EP is the perfect soundtrack for a late night drive through unlit highways, a trip where the shadows may be hiding danger and monsters. Backed by a rumbling freight train back beat and a call-and-response two men guitar front line lead singer Tess Weinberg sounds like the darker (and cooler) sister of Tanya Donelly and Karen O.
Drenched in reverb the Murder Shoes EP is a throwback to the heyday of surf noir, a genre that never got big but has been kept it alive and well by a fervent innercircle. An enterprising soul with good ears should offer them a vinyl release.
