Tweak Bird

Peddling the kind of riffs Queens of the Stone Age mainman Josh Homme used to specialize in before he, er, lost his way, Tweak Bird’s eponymous jazz/metal record is made all the more special by the fact that there’s only two of them. A sprawling, hugely heavy piece of work, the strange vocals and use of theremins, saxophones and more make this a welcome walk on the weird side – so much so that we are itching to hear them live.
Key Track: ‘Lights In Lines’
