The Humms ‎– Pelzer Fuck Club cassette

"The songs pull together like vignettes, offering little windows revealing the characters that inhabit the spaces within these songs. This is definitely not a mere collection of songs, but a singular minded album. The songs sit together and sway back and forth sonically, dipping into darkness, then are pulled back into the light. It is a very strong demonstration of different styles that Sayer manages to blend together, culminating in a cycle you want to listen to in its entirety.

The adrenalized “Burn One Off” kicks open the door to Pelzer Fuck Club with an unhinged caveman stomp and underworld surf guitar, dissected down the middle with a laser guided guitar solo. Follow up track “Golden Bears”, hits a completely different nerve and foreshadows the weird and whimsical turns on the album. It’s on these percussive excursions that Sayer most distances himself from the sounds of Lemonland, and continues the sonic traditions of Vampire Hours. Many of these songs - “Golden Bears”, “Hot Clorox”, “Singing Pines” “Magic Mile” - tap into the kind of solitary cabaret music Tom Waits or How Gelb would take notice of. These are the moments that pull the shade, and provide the counterpoint to Pelzer Fuck Club’s poppier melodies. Sayer’s delivery on such tracks sells the imagery, his vocals emerging from deep down below, sounding hushed and sinister." - The Go-Go Magic Radio Show
