LP The Mooks - Come on and Save Me

"Come On & Save Me" is the third album from the garage blues duo THE MOOKS (VIC RUGGIERO / THE SLACKERS, SIMON CHARDIET / SIMON & THE BAR SINISTERS), who have expanded to a trio for this album with the addition of Canadian musician JORY KINJO. What immediately captivates audiences at their live performances—full of joie de vivre, direct, and with lo-fi charm—is precisely what these seasoned musicians present on the record: everything recorded live, without overdubs, but with a whole lot of heart. From crisp garage blues to melancholic soul ballads, everything blends together perfectly in a minimalist style. A wonderful, interdisciplinary cocktail of African-American roots music!
