Artists referencing early Devo or Pere Ubu will always find a home in The Deli’s NYC blog. Brooklyn based Drunken Sufis not only do that, but they also add some math-punk influences to the mix, for some insanely fun, high energy aural experience, also enhanced by satirical political lyrics (see embedded song "Bailout" from the band’s 2010 album "No We Can’t"). Musically there’s a lot of interesting, unexpected stuff going on in these tunes: from stop and go breaks, odd tempos, dissonance, tense riffs, to electronic effects, sudden melodic sections and other weird stuff popping in when you would least expect it. Refreshingly, the songs are very well performed and recorded – nice and gritty without sounding lo-fi. The only question we are asking ourselves about these guys is: can they pull this off live? If they can, you don’t want to miss them. Drunken Sufis will be releasing their third album "Death Cult Summer Camp" on September 12 at Bruar Falls.
