Jun 17, 2026He’s still got a taste for demented rockabilly, as demonstrated by the dippy sway of “Mr. Lion.” No one ever accused the Bobby Lees of leaning country, but they do just fine here, kicking up a roadhouse swing and even meowing like cats, as Spencer narrates an unlikely, animal-centered story. The weird psychedelic side of Jon Spencer, too, is fully accounted for. .... We still have Jon Spencer, sounding very much like himself, and that’s something.

MojoJun 17, 2026The Bobby Lees' Kemdall Wind (bass) and Spider Bowman (drums) help Spencer steer his garage punk life raft through the direst of straits. The mood is defiant, even cathartically daft in places (see Mr Lion). [Aug 2026, p.88]

UncutJun 17, 2026"Knock Em Out" is a feral prog-punk highlight; "Mr Lion" a shambolic 16-bar blues et in the jungle; "Hangover" a piece of slow-burning sludge metal that narrates a morning recovery; while "vermin Attack" is the heaviest song you'll ever hear about mouse infestation. [Jul 2026, p.38]
