Anthem of the Peaceful Army
[Universal-2018]
What a perfect example of the push and pull re GVF:
Pitchfork panned this record and there was a Twitter uproar. On the one hand, P4K are professional trolls with a long-standing reputation for fucking with bands and fans alike. But they know their shit. Meanwhile, I don’t really have time for people who think these Zeppelin wannabes are some sort of musical second coming of bluesy, heavy, guitar-driven rock. But I must admit, anything that gets folks rocking out, especially in these times of rock and roll’s diminishing returns, in so far as mainstream music is considered, is a godsend. But pinning one’s hopes on musical ventriloquists feels bittersweet, to say the least. Jeez.
