Baptism Of Uzi : Believe

There was a time when Baptism Of Uzi was the best of bands and Baptism Of Uzi were the not-best of bands. A seemingly dissonant intra-band creative vision meant their live performances could go either way, hitting glorious peaks with shit-hot Sabbath riffs and ELP grandiosity, or failing to click as a musical unit. They’ve now shed their skin, emerging as wavy psychedelic dream-scapers. Believe is reminiscent of the ace Tame Impala B-side Beverly Laurel. It’s a pleasant listen, but perhaps a bit too mired in the lackadaisical to create that special spark. The promise is still definitely there, with a distinct ear for melody shining through.
