I've been sleeping on posting something about this for awhile, but senior year is almost starting so I gotta get a jump on not procrastinating...right? The Satanic Satanist is chocked full of dreamy pop songs that pull you into the psychedelic alternate universe with spinning suns and runny flowers that the Beatles began painting 40 years ago. A more accessible disc than 2008's experimental Censored Colors and 2007's vintage Church Mouth, these Portland-via-Alaska boys have made a record that pelts you again and again with little pop nuggets until you fall back into their aural bliss. John Gourley's vocals have continue to improve, reaching a sufficiently sultry and sexy falsetto more akin to Robert Plant and Paul McCartney than Justin Bieber (seriously...what's up with that kid?). It'll be hard to find a more consistent and thoroughly solid album this year so don't bother looking and grab this now...album still streaming on their Myspace so don't forget that neither!
