Since Dog Faced Hermans didn’t wind up pulling a come-from-behind victory, might as well drop some asides to this DC while they’re the account’s profile pic…
bestalbumbrackets.bsky.social The Best Album of 1989 @bestalbumbrackets.bsky.social · Jun 27
One Designated Cheerleader today, it’s from @somejerkoff.bsky.social, and it’s for EVERYDAY TIMEBOMB! Take it away, SJ!
Dog Faced Hermans feels like a band out of time. Everyday Timebomb was released in 1989, but it sounds more like the sort of late '70s/early '80s post-punk album Simon Reynolds would gush about in the pages of Rip It Up and Start Again- there's that opening angular funk of "Binding System" providing the same rush as any number of Gang of Four tracks, that Bow Wow Wow bounce on "Frock," horn bursts that bring to mind X-Ray Spex, and vocals from frontwoman Marion Coutts that mesh well with The Slits and Essential Logic. Or maybe they're just the type of band that Lizzy Goodman would have interviewed for Meet Me in the Bathroom had they hung around Brooklyn in the early 2000s-the opening of "Beautiful" beats The Rapture at their own game by about a decade, and perhaps they could've been the more abrasive act that fellow Scots Franz Ferdinand would ask to open for them. And whenever someone gets around to writing a book about the current crop of UK indie groups, it's easy to picture them slotting somewhere between the surrealist talk-singing of Dry Cleaning and the klezmer rave-ups of Black Country, New Road. What they don't sound much like is a lot of other music released in the late '80s. They certainly found fellow travelers like The Ex, who they shared housing and at least one bandmate with, or God Is My Co-Pilot, with whom they toured the early '90s. But as many names as you can throw out in a game of spot-the-influence or thissounds-like-that, their wild sound was ultimately all their own - linkable to others when identifying different parts, but all adding up to its own Dog Faced whole. They are able to reshape a traditional American folk song like "John Henry" (fitting for an anarchopunk band whose first gig was a benefit in support of striking U.K. miners) in their own cacophonous image just as well as they would later do with covers of Lydia Lunch's No Wave band 8 Eyed Spy and late-period Ornette Coleman (note to voters: please nominate In All Languages when 1987 rolls around). Everyday Timebomb is a righteous blast that showcases everything Dog Faced Hermans does well in just 31 minutes, and their albums would continue to get better -Mental Blocks for All Ages, Hum of Life, and Those Deep Buds all should have made it into the '90s tournaments. As upset-heavy as this tournament has been, I have no illusions that they'll be making it past Nine Inch Nails today (hey, I love Pretty Hate Machine too), but I hope you give this album a listen. If it's a favorite new discovery, there's a treasure trove waiting for you.

Two very different albums coming together for a very RIP Sly Stone match-up.

An album that opens with “Kill All Hippies” vs. an album whose run-out groove reads “What’s orange and looks good on hippies? Fire.”
