The Cowboys — Sultan of Squat (Feel It)

Sultan of Squat by The Cowboys

The Cowboys, on this sixth album, edge further and more precariously out onto their psychedelic rainbow bridge, pushing garage pop into increasingly ornate and baroque directions Of Room of Clons in 2020, I wrote, “Out with the Wire in and in with the XTC. The Cowboys lilt and tiptoe and swoon in fey, unmistakably British ways that evoke Syd Barrett, Television Personalities and the Cleaners from Venus,” and the trend continues here. The band may be from middle America (Bloomington, Indiana to be specific) and the title track may reference the All-American pastime, but there’s something very old-world decadent about these prancing, gesturing tracks.

Indeed, “The Sultan of Squat” barrels into view on roadhouse piano, an exuberant “bop-bop-bop” chorus incanting jittery, high-kicking energy into an already nervy anthem. The piano makes the cut sound like Gorky’s Zygotic Mynci, minus the pathos. The piano reappears, boogie-ing and woogie-ing in “Token Drifter”

As before, the singing is fantastically mannered, warbling and crooning through thickets of stinging guitar. “Red Headed Playa” is perhaps the disc’s heaviest cut, launched with crushing chords and riotous drums. Yet even this one dances off on staccato upbeats and rickety choruses. And “Raining Sour Grapes” may strike a Who-like pose with windmilling power chords and abrasive dissonance, but it quickly gallops off towards glam-rock territories, a latter day Mott the Hoople in the wings.

Not to say that this band wouldn’t be a barrel of fun live, or indeed, that this giddy full-length doesn’t have its appeal. It’s a playful joyride, a sped up carnival trip through florid emotions, and if it doesn’t feel real, especially, it doesn’t feel false either. It’s just that the colors are unnaturally bright.

On July 4th a group of white people tried to lynch Vauhxx Booker, a black community organizer and advocate, at Monroe Lake, just outside of Bloomington, Indiana. You can read the full post about the attack here. CW for extreme racist violence obviously. Luckily there were people there who intervened and stopped this hateful attack or he very likely would be dead. He has a gofundme for medical and legal costs, donate or share but please don't ignore.

This Monday (July 6th) protesters gathered in downtown Bloomington to demand action against the escalating white supremacist violence in this supposedly “progressive” college town. As evening came and the crowd started to disperse a white woman hit protesters with her car, injuring one who is hospitalized but thankfully alive. Her friend set up a gofundme to cover the medical expense. Again please donate if you can and share if you cannot.

You can also donate to Black Lives Matter Bloominton via venmo @BLM-BTOWN

We will be protesting downtown again on Tuesday. I will try to keep this post up to date with any news as we continue fighting for justice.
