Surely Tex Perkins has just cracked his personal best for concurrent musical projects? As well as fronting nascent outfit The Ape, Tex has his Cash tribute Man In Black, three iterations of Beasts Of Bourbon, and The Cruel Sea all hitting the stage before the year is out. Imbued with a smoky and sleazy barroom swagger, he croons over the measured Crawl Back with shades of QOTSA’s more soulful moments, and the comparison works in The Ape’s favour.
