The difficult second album from Mal's multi-regional supergroup is out now on LP, CD, and digital, and you should buy it! But don't take my word for it. Here are some recent reviews:
"It's SO good...funny, mind-breaking rock. Highly recommend!" - Sean Cole
"The band, fronted by Austin, Texas-based creative Mal Thursday (vocals, harmonica), who is backed by a range of skilled musicians, delivers twelve uplifting rock ‘n roll songs—fuzzy garage rock meets hooky rhythm & blues—including a new tune called 'If 6 Was 5' (not the title track from the previous record or anything), two live versions, and a bonus track titled 'Excitement Transfusion.' Vibrant music wrapped in a vintage sound, tough yet charming, but above all catchy and danceable." - Add to Wantlist
"A full-throttle blast of Farfisa-driven energy and playful garage primitives. Mal Thursday has spent decades scraping the rust (which never sleeps) off the genre’s fuzz-soaked hemoglobin—nods to Sky Saxon, Roky Erickson, and Brian Jones are baked in." - Christopher Duda, Scene Point Blank
"Beyond the recurring garage-rock vibes, three of the album’s most interesting tracks – ‘A SmellOf Honey, A Swallow Of Brine’, ‘Kitten WithA Whip’ and ‘The Defilers’ – showcase the Mal Thursday Quintet’s tidy sideline of coming up with would be theme songs for bona fide obscure ’60s exploitation movies." - Grahame Bent, Shindig!
