Dead Confederate – Wrecking Ball
Record Label: TAO Records
Release Date: September 16, 2008
Georgia’s Dead Confederate play their own brand of rock that lies somewhere between stoner and psychedelic rock. It’s not quite metal or progressive, but there is certainly more to be heard on Wrecking Ball than run of the mill alternative rock songs.
Hardy Morris, the 28 year old singer/guitarist, has a voice similar to Kurt Cobain or Thom Yorke. He croons soulfully over a rhythm section that chugs along to heavy riffing that brings to mind early 90’s grunge bands such as Soundgarden or Nirvana. This is contrasted by spacey, atmospheric guitar work reminiscent of Pink Floyd or Radiohead.
It is worthy to note that much of the album was recorded in single takes with little to no over dubbing. Dead Confederate’s Wrecking Ball is a purely honest record and it is almost impossible to find anything wrong with it. The album flows nicely and takes you on a ride of highs and lows that would be best enjoyed while relaxing or just spacing out.
