Cromagnon Man - by JP

This EP shows Snout exploring a wide variety of sound gem of power and fuzz, capturing the hip humour and fell which sets this band apart from Melbourne's often tiring pop/rock scene. "Patches and Badges" offers a psychedelic loop beat featuring some interesting instrumentation. Greg's "Soul Food" provides a somewhat sleazy dance feel with a
dubbed rhythm and backmasked slide guitar. The two acoustic tunes are excellent, with "The Misery Trade" being my pick of the disc.

Each of the five songs are interesting and different, and given the variety of this release alone it is a worthy addition to the CD collection of any Snout fan. By the time you've gone from cover to cover, you may find yourself playing it over again just to remember where you started.
