Music reviews of The Further Adventures of Los Straitjackets
Music Review: They're baaack! They're masked, and they've still got it!
Rating: 4 Stars
The most recent readily-available, all-instrumental Los Straitjackets disc until now was Supersonic Guitars in 3-D , released in 2003. Oh sure, there was a 2005 internet-and-shows only disc called "Los Straitjackets Play Favorites", which featured cover songs of a mostly-instrumental variety, not to mention side projects like Daddy-O Grande in Mexico and Eddie Angel Plays Link Wray as well as Los Straitjackets' vocals-heavy dance craze and south-of-the-border excursions called Twist Party!!! and Rock En Español, Vol. 1. Nonetheless, it's been a while since we've gotten a "regular" disc from everybody's favorite masked instrumentalists.
"Further Adventures" provides just what you would expect from the modern heirs to the Ventures: a menu of 13 originals that hit on many guitar instrumental traditions while attempting to tread the line between retro homage and modern tuneage. There are clear nods to past guitar instrumental Maestros such as Link Wray ("Teen Beast", a reference to the stage name of their "new" drummer, Teen Beat, is clearly a mind-meld of the Link Wray songs "Ace of Spades" and "Fatback"), The Ventures ("Blowout" sounds like any number of mid-60's Ventures songs featuring the Fuzz-Rite pedal), and Duane Eddy ("Mercury" features the low-strings-and-tremolo sound of some of his later 60's adult contemporary material). There are a few decidedly-surf-sounding songs, such as "Catalina" and "Challenger 64" (an update of the song "Challenger" that was on Attack of the New Killer Surf Guitars), but there is too much variety here to peg this as strictly a surf disc.
In all, this is a brief, but well-done 2009 model of the nearly-extinct breed known as guitar instrumental rock. Many of these songs sound like they will be welcome additions to the fabulous Los Straitjackets live shows---keep an eye out for them; they are not to be missed in person, and "Further Adventures" sums up to a worthy addition to the Los Straitjackets catalog.
