RELEASE DATE
8/6/2013
Released in foreshortened single LP format back in 2010, the new edition of this masterpiece of Brattleboro form manipulation is allowed to breathe across two full long-players, and we're all a lot better off for it. Allowed to sprawl across a couple of albums, a booklet of text and a download card of yet another album,
Happy Jawbone Family Band
achieve a rare freedom here, assembling a complete imaginary universe that combines surrealist wordplay with woozy
Dunedin
-style form-grabs. Composed of seven (or so) people (it changes with the weather), the band seems capable of almost anything. At one moment they can be doing what sounds to be a flamenco version of the
Germs
' "Lexicon Devil" then turn on a dime and resemble the
Terminals
doing one of their death-chug-sea chanteys. It's weird, this Brattleboro thing. All the bands there sound pretty different from one another, but they all sound like they smoke cheeb as though it were legal. There is a stoner logic to
Complete Hotel
that's so damn wonderful it'll just about suck yr clothes off. As was demonstrated to the world on their Mexican Summer comp (which was in print for what? three hours?) HJFB put songs together in a way that pleases them, and damn the torpedoes. You can hear traces of absolutely anything inside their sound --
Four Seasons
,
Van Dyke Parks
,
Dave Davies
,
Plagal Grind
-- but their mutational heat is so heavy, after you've dug a few notes you realize it could never be anyone but them.
Complete Hotel Double Tragedy
is the first time HJFB have gotten a chance to expand in all directions at the same time. And it is so cool, you'll grow a new tit. We promise! Edition of 600. Housed in a gatefold sleeve with a 32-page booklet.
