Gallon Drunk·'The Rotten Mile'
Banda londinense que practica un blues-rock elegante, con toques nocturnos y pantanosos a la manera de los Birthday Party. 'The Rotten Mile' (2008) es su último disco hasta la fecha y quizás es el más domesticado y accesible de los suyos, pero también el que para mí contiene sus canciones más conseguidas. Su cantante también forma parte de Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, a los que se unió como guitarrista y segunda voz para sustituir a Blixa Bargeld pues éste cada vez estaba más comprometido con su otra banda, Einstürzende Neubaten. Y también he estado escuchando bastante la banda sonora que Gallon Drunk compuso en el 2000 para la película 'Black Milk', disco en el que variaban de estilo y que es igualmente muy recomendable.
'The Rotten Mile' is the last record to this day by the cool blues-rock London band Gallon drunk (who in some tunes seem notably influenced by The Birthday Party). Edited in 2008, it is probably their most accesible one and to me it contains some of their finest tunes. The singer is also a member of Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds since he joined as a replace for Blixa Bargeld. And another record that I've been enjoying a lot is the soundtrack Gallon Drunk composed in 2000 for a film called 'Black Milk', something different from what they usually play for it is quite a groovy one.
