Slim Cessna’s Auto Club – Cipher

Southern gothic. Tales of salvation and brimstone. Equal parts Iggy Pop and Johnny Cash. Yup, this has to be the new Slim Cessna’s Auto Club album. Most of the songs here sound like they are used every week in a revival meeting somewhere where people don’t speak unless it’s in tongues.

Slim’s religious fervor might not be for everyone but there’s no denying that the songs on “Cipher” are of a very high quality and extremely suited to whip everybody listening into a frenzy. The album is divided into four parts (arms, legs, teeth, faith), each of which is introduced by the recurring theme “An Introduction To The Power Of Braces”) while the rest of the album is comprised of songs that all have Pentecostal energy in common.

It’s probably too late to save my soul but I’ll be damned (hmmm, wrong choice of words?) if that’s gonna stop me from listening to “Cipher”!
Score: out of 10
