Tomahawk é uma banda composta de grande experimentação de caras como Mike Patton (Faith No More, Fantômas), Duane Denison (o Jesus Lizard), John Stanier (Battles,Helmet), e Trevor Dunn (Mr. Bungle, Fantômas). No ano passado eles gravaram seu quarto álbum. Já se passaram seis anos desde o seu lançamento anterior, e é bom ver os caras retornarem . A faixa "Oddfellows" abre o pertado . Na segunda vez, o guitarrista Denison eo baixista Dunn madaram ver na martelada . O vocalista Mike Patton escorre para fora com a gutural vox.
De lá, o álbum vai, sendo ouvido através de um circo sideshow de metal cinematográfico. Como a voz de Patton cantando emergindo. "Rise Up Dirty Water" com toques de anos 60 mod jazz.
Para a capa do álbum, Tomahawk contou com a honrosa cartunista e quadrinhos estudioso, Ivan Brunetti para criar uma imagem animal e um olho que tudo vê, que são perfeitos na forma como eles não funcionam. . Oddfellows é difícil para certos ouvidos , mas Tomahawk não quer que seja fácil.
Tomahawk is a band comprised of grand experimenting kingpins Mike Patton (Faith No More, Fantômas), Duane Denison (the Jesus Lizard), John Stanier (Battles, Helmet), and Trevor Dunn (Mr. Bungle, Fantômas). This past year they holed up in Nashville at Dan Auerbach’s Easy Eye Studios to record Oddfellows, their fourth full-length album, a raucous, careening affair out on Ipecac Recordings. It’s been six years since their previous release, and it's nice to see the men return from their forest wanderings. Oddfellows' opening track begins with Stanier’s drums alone, burrowing a measure of his kick, snare, and open hi-hats into a slab of granite. On the second time around, guitarist Denison and bassist Dunn latch on to the hammered pattern in cycling minor key jabs. Vocalist/brain surgeon Patton oozes out a low, doubled, morbidly muscled call.
From there the album goes, taking ears and listening heads through a circus sideshow of bent metal, wierded hard core, and peculio-sound theater. Some is more straight ahead and driven, like “South Paw” and “White Hats/Black Hats," where Patton’s singing voice emerges. “Rise Up Dirty Water” curves with 60s mod-jazz swing. Above electric drums on “I.O.U.” Patton’s reverb doused voice sings (someone correct me if I’m wrong), “I owe you a love song. For everything I’ve done wrong. Cause out the gates, I’m all guns, love, and nuns.”
For the album artwork, Tomahawk enlisted the honorable cartoonist and comics scholar, Ivan Brunetti to render an animal image and an all seeing eye that are perfect in the way they don’t work. But Tomahawk isn’t concerned with what works, they’re concerned with exploring the underbelly of their muse’s muse, with Patton staring as a nonchalant, guru of the dark. He’s a demented savant scribe, preaching, moaning, orating, and chopping with a guttural wolf-whisper. He screams in vein-bulged shots like he’s being tortured, then on a dime goes into handsome baritone and falsetto. Oddfellows is difficult in places, but Tomahawk doesn’t want it to be easy. Duane Denison spoke from his Nashville home. All his words were enunciated incredibly well.
