Margot & The Nuclear So and So’s
Rot Gut, Domestic
Mariel Recording Company
4.5 out of 5 stars
Since shedding their only female member a few years back, Margot & The Nuclear So and So’s have taken on a darker, fuzzier façade, and with Rot Gut, Domestic they have truly found the balance between indie rawness and guitar-centric rock — a balance that they call “panic pop.”
Singer/songwriter Richard Edwards wrote the album in less than a month, right after the band wrapped up their tour for their previous release Buzzard. Like past releases, the album is a view right into the notebook of a deeply introspective thinker, but Edwards isn’t one to lay his problems on listeners, and even the most personal tracks come off like laughable stories told to a shrink.
It’s magical and powerful, once again. — BFJ
