No Such Thing
A big discovery for me has been Agent Orange. Yes, I admit it. I was not an AO fan before this project. I had never heard them. I don’t know why or how they escaped my suburban jewish kid grasp.
This record is a laser focused assault that defies the year it was released.
There isn’t a bad track on it and the cover of “Miserlou” is so unrecognizable that I would have thought they wrote it.
“No Such Thing” is a Strawberry Alarm Clock tune on amphetamines and that’s what this is. Steeped in late 60s psychedelia but updated in a way to sound fresh in 1981 and 2021.
It’s short. It’s 20 minutes. But that just means I get to play it twice and not feel like I’ve got to get to the next album.
