BAF 18049 PETARDS "Pet Arts"
THE PETARDS Pet Arts
The fourth and final alburn from the Denman rock stars, Pet Arts keeps with the then-current trends in music and ditches much of the psychedelic vibe of 1969's excellent ilitshock for something more "early 70s°. In this case, it's very much the post-psych, heavy-pop sound favoured by numerous other pop travellers, Ike The Tremeloes circa Master, with regular forays into the Sabbath-inspired Intones, The Petards just went with the flow. Never innovators, they did however make a cool sound, and this double-album has plenty of variety and sold performances that take in everything from the commercial sounding CCR-inspired single 'Don't You Feel Like Me' to the funky. jazzy psych-rock of 'Cowboy' replete with West Coast guitar, the Hendrix-ish Windy Nevermore' and the pastoral Traffic-esque 'Long Way Back Nome'. Seven-minute drum solo-laden Zep tribute 'Spectrum' perhaps shows how they were clutching at straws in search of an identity. Mn 14•W
