ELECTROMEO by Bill Mallonee and Vigilantes of Love
"After 10 years and 15 albums of giving it all we had as a band, the world had become one cesspool of fools and their betrayals. Sometimes we included ourselves in that characterization..."
"Electromeo" was a sinner's swan song, a prophet's lament, garnished with drone and feedback. A lump in the throat moment for all of us."
Hat in Hand, the lead off, is one of my all-time fav VoL tracks. Lyrically & musically. One of the best rock things i've ever written. It's mid-tempo, raw and desperate...a lament. We saw it coming. Jake and Kevin? Simply stunning here...as they always were.
