Voodoo Love Nuke
(Independent)

There’s plenty of dub reggae to be found on Voodoo Love Nuke. That makes a lot of sense for a band called Dub Vulture, I suppose, but what gives this album its edge is the way frontman Tim Balash draws from his past, weaving a little alt-country here (the rambling “Sharks in the Bathtub,” with a tip of the hat to Jimmie Rodgers in the opening line, “T for Texas / T for Taliban”) and a little punk there (the thrashing blast of “Monochrome”). For some bands, that sort of range could be a kiss of death, or at least an entranceway towards a herky-jerky sound that blows every which way but loose and any which way it can.
