Montreal’s Mark Sultan (BBQ Show in King Khan, Spaceshit) returns with 13 gritty, retro inspired tracks that effortlessly blend doo-wop, R&B, punk, soul, garage-rock, country and ambient noise. The opening track, “Icicles”, begins with four minutes of psychedelic noise before leading into the distorted vocals and guitar flourishes that finish out the song. Up-tempo tracks like “Go Berserk,” “Catastrophe” and the sax twinged rocker “I’ll Be Loving You” get your head bobbing and are balanced by leisurely ballads like “Ten of Hearts” and “Just to Hold You.” Continuing to draw upon his usual myriad of influences, Sultan again forges a uniquely original and captivating record in $. – Written by JFelton
