Soul Coughing: Irresistible Bliss
Mon Apr 10 16:47:14 2006

Soul_Coughing.jpgAh, Soul Coughing!  These guys had some great samples and great lines.  I loved the debut, Ruby Vroom, and this follow-up was almost as good.  However, their 3rd CD called El Oso was, well, so-so.

The guys use some jazzy hooks and samples to create their sound.  M. Doughty’s vocals sound like he’s talking out of the side of his mouth, a little like Les Claypool.  The bass line and drum beat play heavy for this group, with limited guitar work.  Some comparisons to Beck and Cake have been made through reviews.  There’s some cool mellow stuff to jam slowly to, or get stoned to, take your pick.  My more upbeat highlights personally would be:

  • Super Bon Bon
  • 4 out of 5
  • Paint
  • Disseminated
  • Collapse

Certainly worth digging through bargain bins for.  In fact, I’m seeing Irresistible Bliss on SecondSpin.com for about $6.99.  And Ruby Vroom is there for $4.99!  You should jump on it, seriously.  Oh, you want to hear it first?  OK.  Go HERE to listen!

4 out of 5, ironically!
