"Electric Slave" erscheint auf Vagrant Records. Der Künstler Black Joe Lewis orientierte sich an Künstlern wie James Brown, Don Covay, Lightnin' Hopkins oder auch Hound Dog Taylor. Doch inzwischen ist er zum Fuzz-Rock-Monster mutiert udn aich dem Blues nocht abgeneigt. Produziert von Stuart Sikes (White Stripes, Cat Power, Modest Mouse) und John Congleton (Explosions in the Sky, St. Vincent, Okkervil River) at Elmwood Studios in Dallas. Opening track “Skulldiggin” http://soundcloud.com/black-joe-lewis/skulldiggin/ “Skulldiggin” was hailed by Consequence of Sound as “a deafening first shot in the band’s war against technology-induced devolution. Over the mortar fire of crashing cymbals and the bombastic wail of a ferocious guitar, Lewis screams and shouts about mind control.
