Psychosis Safari is one of the longer tracks from The Eighties Matcbox B-Line Disaster's 25-minute debut album, Horse of the Dog, clocking in at a 'mammoth' two minutes and 52 seconds. But boy do they pack a lot in...
Rarely has a song title so succinctly described what lies beneath. Psychosis Safari is precisely that - a bumpy, often thrilling, ride through an untamed musical terrain of guttural guitars, near-tribal drums and deranged, Iggy Pop-inflected growls.
After the Celebrate Your Mother and Morning Has Broken singles, Psychosis Safari is another perfect demonstration that The Eighties Matchbox B-Line Disaster are the aural equivalent of a horror B-movie, only with a bit more class. In other words, this is a great antidote to the safe, sanitised "pap" music that otherwise surrounds us.
