As the name suggests, Lullabye Arkestra’s first record for Constellation is a seriously reckless affair, the soundtrack to equipment being joyfully put through its paces and occasionally overdriven to the point of no return; the band’s carefree attitude towards their amps sums up everything that is loveable about the distorto-soul duo, their infectious mixture of gospel, funk and sheer punk rock colliding to create a surprisingly cohesive record. Opener “Unite!!!!!!!!!!!!” explodes into a beautiful cacophony of horn vamps, crashing through ascending chord crescendos while screamo vocals punctuate the flight; “Hold On” features classy call-and-response vocals laid over a slow, pummeling soul groove; and “Ass Worship” offers four-on-the-floor anthematics. Ampgrave is a record like no other - sassy, fun, and seriously blasted.
