Jucifer - If Thine Enemy Hunger
I was worried that the new Jucifer album would suck. The previous EP (War Bird) wasn’t very interesting, whereas their first EP, Lambs, is excellent. Thankfully it’s a fine piece of work. It’s not my favorite, but it’s damn fine stuff. The first track, She Tides the Deep, is like being stoned on ten grams of hash. Some idiot on Amazon said “Why, why, WHY is this the first song? Slow, repetitive, pretty in places but 4 minutes too long”, and I couldn’t disagree more. I could listen to this all goddam day (forget the headphones though, it’s way better with a subwoofer). From there it’s a bit downhill, but I’ll still take Jucifer over most of what’s out there. For your further consideration, I’ve posted Antietam and In a Family Way.
