I came across this tune online. Eddie Roberts (New Mastersounds<\/a>, Matador! Soul Sounds<\/a>, Color Red<\/a> etc.) had posted, that he had just listened to Ugly Mug from Analog Son 2,500 times, because he couldn’t stop. Reason enough for me to check it out.\u00a0And boy, what a tune!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Analog Son<\/a> grooves you into a sense of security, supported by drum and bass groove, subtle organ, guitar as well as horns. Then the singers harshly reject a pleading wish. The track carries on beautifully, leaving a sense of doubt about what was being sung. Building up nicely. A sense of hope? And finally, the guitar weeps as all hope crashes and the anticipated drama unfolds.<\/p>\n

But, you know what, I can try and type all I might, you simply need to hear for yourself. Not on the go but when you have 3 minutes 17 seconds for yourself to listen. After all, you want to experience the build up for the angry guitar solo towards the end.<\/p>\n
