After his show on Thursday night, Parker Gispert from the Whigs slipped me an advanced copy of the debut from recent tour mates, Wax Fang, and I am fucking glad that he did. La La Land, set to drop on November 17th on Don't Panic Records, is a thrilling musical amalgam that Gispert truthfully declares, "will rock your d**k off." Frontman Scott Carney and his Louisville, KY-based gang of merry rockers have molded a rollercoaster record that blends everything from psych-pop to Irish folk to post-rock to 80s hair fare. Beautifully orchestrated and hyperdynamic, La La Land's highlighted by some seriously kickass axe-wielding and drum-whooping, as well as Carney's off-kilter lyrical prowess. If I were you, I would be counting down the days until November 17th.
Check out some tunes from Wax Fang at their myspace.
