Ladyfinger (NE) – Dusk

Google Ladyfinger and the first search result that comes up is a link to a vibrator that goes by the same name as this Nebraska outfit. “Dusk” is album number two that they get to fill with their mix of hardhitting seventies rock and eighties hardcore and while it does provide pleasure, it’s not the same kind as that other ladyfinger. But who cares honestly! They once again did a great job with a little help from producer Matt Bayles (Mastodon, Minus The Bear).

Opener “Over And Over” immediately sets the mood with a sound that reminds me of the Foo Fighters while “A.D.D.” comes with a nervous bass, erratic drums and some Queens Of The Stone Age influences. “Little Things” is by far one of the most catchy songs on the album along with “Let’s Get Married” and more than enough proof that these guys can’t just make loud music but also loud melodic music.

“Dusk” is not going to be a classic but if they manage to just add that little bit extra and squeeze out a couple more tracks like “Little Things” on album number three, then it’s going to be really hard to hold these guys back!
Score: 7.5 out of 10
