Our Take

Frank Black and the Catholics are back with their latest album, "Snake Oil," and it's a rollercoaster of emotions and musical styles that will leave you questioning everything you thought you knew about rock and roll.

From the opening track, "Serpent's Tongue," Black's distinctive voice cuts through the noise like a hot knife through butter, delivering lyrics that are both cryptic and profound. The riffs are as infectious as they are unpredictable, with the band effortlessly blending elements of punk, blues, and country into a sonic stew that is as satisfying as it is confusing.

But it's not all fun and games on "Snake Oil." Tracks like "The Grifter" and "Charlatan Blues" explore darker themes of deception and betrayal, with Black's vocals taking on a haunting quality that will send shivers down your spine.

Overall, "Snake Oil" is a testament to Frank Black's enduring talent and creativity. It's a wild ride that will leave you breathless and wanting more. So sit back, relax, and let the catholics take you on a journey you won't soon forget.
