JEALOUSY - Paid For It LP

Highly recommended. This and the earlier Moniker release we entered today (Mardou) have both been superb (and cheap!)

"... a new suite of violent psychedelic rock. The solo work of CCR Headcleaner’s Mark Treise was great in 2011 and it’s even better now. As Jealousy, he maps out simple motorik grooves and stoner-friendly two-note bass melodies and proceeds to torch the whole thing with at least five vocal tracks per song (each with varying levels of reverb and sobriety) and what could just as well be vintage synths as imitation Fenders coasting through on a wave of effects in a drone-y din.

I read that legendary freak Don Bolles contributed drums to some of these tracks, and I can’t say I’m surprised that these guys would pal around together, two drug-friendly Californians with sharp taste in underground music and a willingness to push beyond normal boundaries.

Paid For It is dubby yet disturbed, with plenty of open space but never the slightest sensation of boredom (at least for my two willing ears). At Paid For It‘s best, I’m hearing a three-way Suicide / Loop / Guru Guru sound-clash, with vocals that often sound like a mumbly Beverly Hills rich kid who is simultaneously having the best trip of his life (to be followed by three days of dark sober depression), and this is an album that is almost always at its best." - YGR
