Our Take
Luke Haines and Peter Buck team up for a psychedelic journey on "Going Down to the River... To Blow My Mind." Haines, known for his work with The Auteurs and Black Box Recorder, brings his signature dry wit and poetic lyricism to the table, while Buck, of R.E.M. fame, provides the perfect musical backdrop with his jangly guitars and masterful production. From the opening track "Jack Parsons" with its swirling melodies and cryptic lyrics, to the infectious pop sensibilities of "Appetite," this album is a sonic delight from start to finish. Haines' sardonic delivery is perfectly complemented by Buck's lush arrangements, creating a sound that is both familiar and fresh at the same time. Standout tracks like "Doomed Lover" and "Rock N' Roll is Evil" showcase Haines' talent for storytelling, while Buck's shimmering guitars and driving rhythms keep the energy high throughout. The album's title track is a sprawling epic that showcases the duo's musical chemistry, with Haines' haunting vocals soaring over Buck's hypnotic guitar lines. "Going Down to the River... To Blow My Mind" is a testament to the power of collaboration, with Haines and Buck pushing each other to new heights creatively. This is a must-listen for fans of both artists, as well as anyone looking for a mind-bending musical experience.
