Spider
Vomit "Widow's Walk"
UAR057 CDEP
Released: 2007-07-14
Melbourne’s Spider Vomit are heavy. Like 70s downers that are now illegal, they take the torque out of everything. Even when they get all Sonic Youth on you, there’s still a fearsome shudder to this dark quintet. A nasty power trio fronted by two vocalists, they summon up The Stooges on ‘No Way’ and then max out the malicious ennui with nightmare keyboards.
Listen closely and you hear that when vocalist Craig and Hannah aren’t driving to Death Valley together, one will undercut the other’s intent with a veiled counter vocal buried beneath the guitar and rhythm section. ‘Widows Walk’ could get the party started. It could just as easily end it.
