iTunes Review
When hip indie acts try to recreate the warm analogue hiss and vintage vinyl tones of their favorite old records, the result often plays back with a handful of anachronisms giving away the modernity of the project. Had Detroit's the Go kept original member Jack White in the band (he left in 1996 to start the White Stripes), Howl On the Haunted Beat You Ride might sound like such an album. But these recordings resonate with such authentic antiquity, that songs like "You Go Bangin' On" and "Caroline" could easily be mistaken for a lost Mungo Jerry outtake or a Ringo Starr B-side. "Refrain" gets headier in a Muswell Hillbillies-era Kinks setting, while "Mary Ann" borrows boyish earnestness from early Nazz recordings with a playfully catchy chorus that the Hollies would be proud of. "Smile" moves with a serpentine slickness as singer Bobby Harlow coolly sneers, "You don't find a love like mine every day just to throw away." Because Howl is the kind of album that grows on you song by song, the overall result comes off sounding more classically ambitious than unapologetically retro.
Customer Reviews
Howl On...
You really have to hand it to The Go, they took retro sound to a whole new level, and still sound so fresh and new. This is not like any other album I have heard, and not like any album The Go have done either. It has some of that Detroit Garage Rock, and it's mixed with slick sounding (almost 60s like) Harmony, the combination is fantastic. I like the record as a whole, from start to finish. Especially worth checking out are Yer Stoned Italian Cowboy, and Help You Out!
Most underrated band of all time.
It's a real shame that no one has heard of The Go because are one of the best bands out there right now. Howl on the Haunted Beat You Ride is a pychodelic power pop masterpiece. "Smile" is one of my new favorite songs.
i keep flipping this record over and over...
I'd recommend the picking up the vinyl, but this album is a bubblegum masterpiece in any format. Invisible Friends and Refrain will put a great knot in your stomach.
