Our Take
Oh, Violent Femmes, you cheeky devils. Hallowed Ground sees the Milwaukee trio delving deep into their folk-punk roots, with a sprinkle of gospel thrown in for good measure. Frontman Gordon Gano's distinctive vocals are as delightfully bizarre as ever, with lyrics that range from introspective to downright absurd. The album kicks off with the foot-stomping 'Country Death Song', a twisted tale of murder and mayhem set to an infectious acoustic melody. It's the kind of song that makes you want to dance and contemplate your own mortality at the same time. Tracks like 'Black Girls' and 'Never Tell' showcase the band's knack for blending catchy hooks with dark, introspective lyrics. The juxtaposition of upbeat music with somber subject matter is classic Violent Femmes, and it works like a charm here. However, not every song on Hallowed Ground hits the mark. 'It's Gonna Rain' feels a bit too repetitive, and 'Jesus Walking on the Water' veers dangerously close to self-parody. But overall, the album is a strong addition to the band's discography, showcasing their unique blend of folk, punk, and gospel influences. In conclusion, Violent Femmes' Hallowed Ground is a quirky, fun-filled romp through the band's twisted musical world. It may not be their absolute best work, but it's definitely worth a listen for fans of folk-punk with a cheeky twist. So grab your favourite beverage, sit back, and let the Violent Femmes take you on a wild ride through Hallowed Ground. Cheers!
