Jex Thoth

Nu slechts € 17,99 Following the unexpected dissolution of acid-folk duo the Wooden Wand, singer Jessica Toth and bassist/guitarist James Jackson Toth (now going under the sobriquet Grim Jim) charted an equally unexpected new musical direction with Jex Thoth. Briefly known as Totem when they released a five-track taster EP, Jex Thoth are a psychedelic stoner metal five-piece that replace the twee acoustic acid frippery of the Wooden Wand with an equally lysergic but considerably heavier take on vintage acid rock. It's like what would have happened if Sandy Denny had fronted Amon Düül II, sublimating the faerie-like spaciness of Jessica Toth's vocals in the Wooden Wand in favor of a more aggressive vocal style that's a better fit with the organ and heavy guitars that make up the heart of Jex Thoth's sound. Highlights include the funereal, keyboard-driven dirge ''The Banishment'' and the hard-rocking opener, ''Nothing Left to Die,'' by some measure the most direct and easily accessible track here. But the real acidheads will thrill to the epic four-part prog rock wigout ''Equinox Suite,'' which takes up most of the album's second half, as well as the faithful cover of ''When the Raven Calls'' by outsider psychedelic hero Bobb Trimble. Jex Thoth are entirely self-conscious and derivative, of course; any band recording in this style in 2008 is clearly doing so as a conscious rejection of even the supposedly more wide-ranging indie music scene. But they're doing so with such evident fondness for the original material that accusations of stylistic thievery are entirely beside the point. ~ Stewart Mason
