It’s Friday, and The Tazers have just released their latest EP to send us straight into the weekend. Dream Machine is a 4-track compilation embracing some back-in-the-day Tazers magic recorded with a refreshed, refined yet raw energy.
It kicks off with the title track. Drawing us into psychedelic stoner haze, the overdrive guitar-driven riffs deliver an easy listening, melodious hook before delving into a heavy thrumming bridge.
It braces us for “Go Away”, a fast and dirty explosion of in-your-face rhythms, snappy vocals, and fire guitar solos. Maintaining the energy, we’re herded into “Lonely Road” for some 70’s hard-rockin’- howling vocals are sparse creating room for galloping guitar and a fierce drum solo.
“Around Town” opens with a rapid riff before settling in with a groovy bassline and picking it back up again. After the bridge the tune changes pace into a stoner reverb-and-phaser wooze, laced with vocal harmonies, ending off with a rather tasty heavy instrumental jam. Talk about a musical journey.
Short and sweet, Dream Machine exemplifies The Tazers resolution to perfect their sound. It’s all high-energy fuzz, tumbling drum fills, reverb vocal harmonies, and heavy riffs. It certainly makes us yearn for headbanging boogie on the old dancefloor.
