‘Wolvves’ by London based Eaststrikewest is an intriguing pack of beasts. Opening track ‘God Can’t Take His Eyes Off Me’ is utterly awesome. A soaring, spirraling, building instrumental it raises the listener to a state of heightened expectation to such a level that what comes after feels like something of a letdown.
Like an over-excited schoolboy in a whorehouse, this album spuffs it’s stuff too quickly and what remains is never going to be as good as those giddy first few moments. That’s not to say it’s not a good album, not by a long way, it just never quite lives up to it’s opening promise. Sublime musician ship is matched by soaring ambition on a number of tracks, ‘Stumble’, ‘The Architect’ and ‘Electricity’ stand out, that remind me of Muse before they disappeared up their own bottoms.
