Alcohotlicks - You You"The most keenly anticipated release of the year is finally here! 'You, You' is the brilliant debut album from jazz rockers the Alcohotlicks. The trio's anarchic live energy is beautifully captured on this long player and the boys are at their devastating best. YOU-YOU is a tea ceremony inside a military tank, the product of a furious drunken two-day session at the legendary Paradise Recorders studios. The 10 tracks span the divide between muscular firepower and precise, meditative beauty. The unconventional two-guitar & drum line up provides ideal space for Mannell's powerhouse battery whilst Flower and Hauptmann in turn soar and recoil in a mixture of tandem and tag team brilliance. Individual voices shine whilst the song is always paramount. Jazz to its core, but hear shards of math-rock, distorted raga, pulp-surf...technical revelry hidden amongst grunge nonchalance - a sound all their own. "...Flower, Hauptmann and Mannell may just be on to something rather wonderful." John Shand (Sydney Morning Herald) The Alcohotlicks are: Aaron Flower - electric guitar Ben Hauptmann - electric guitar Evan Mannell - drum kit"
