Album of the Month: Caustic Casanova “Someday You Will Be Proven Correct”

The Onion AV Club nailed it when they described DC’s indie psyche sludge post-punk trio Caustic Casanova as "uniquely brainy hard rock, heavy yet clever in a Torche meets Dismemberment Plan kind of way." That sound clearly eminates on their recent release Someday You Will Be Proven Correct (Mad Love Records) with 12 tracks drawing in numerous elements of rock.

If Jackass comes back around with another sequel, then "Hail Fellow Well Met" should be included on the soundtrack as it sounds like the lovechild of CKY and H.I.M. at times, and kinda makes me want to ride a shopping cart through Occupy K St.

"Bulwark", the stand-out track in my opinion, has a tinge of 90’s alt and a darker undertone compared to the other tracks. Then the breakdowns kick in fuck-yeah style as the lyrics "whether coming or going, I want to be where you are, sleep safe tonight" are crooned and echoed over the piles of scuzz and fuzz.

"17:59", a superb instrumental, is the pivotal sludge build-up track that when played live will most likely get you visiting the merch table, or walking out of the venue post show with a new local favorite on your mind and a download waiting to happen at home… –Dawn
