"The second LP by
Mark Cunningham
's current Spanish outfit,
Blood Quartet
, marks a directional shift from their 2016 debut LP,
Deep Red
(FTR 283LP). On
Until My Darkness Goes
the quartet abandons pure instrumentalism, including a few vocal takes by drummer
Cândid Coll
strewn amidst the album's various tangles. There is also a much more aggressively rockist focus shown at times. Rumor has always been that this is a firm part of the band's live trip, but recorded evidence of it has thus far been scarce. Of course, most of
Until My Darkness Goes
is in the same great vein as
Deep Red
. Noirish trumpet drifts across a rotten cityscape, batting down noise guitar rats that pop up from open manhole covers like goddamn Whack-a-Moles. But there are other things going on as well. "Surfing Rueda" sounds like some sort of unholy collaboration between the
Raybeats
and
Sonic Youth
. "Stress of Her Regard" plays like
Robert Wyatt
doing his version of hard rock vocals in front of the
Tony Williams Lifetime
. "Velvet Love" curls through the air like a smoky reconsideration on
Eric Burdon & the Animals
' soft-psych phase. It's crazy how fast this record drifts from style to style, although Blood Quartet always touches back to their basic
Chet Baker
meets
Pete Cosey
conception. The whole album is a collection of wild moves, as you might guess from the fact they cop a
Stones
quote for its title, and even name a track after the
Representative from Corwood
. I can't wait to hear what these guys get up to next, but for now we've all got plenty to digest. So dig in." --
Byron Coley
, 2018. Edition of 250.
