Cold Ribs is the first widely-released album from RIBS, a band built around the sharp-tongued observations of Mike Wallace, whose voice and vision draw inevitable comparisons to the spirit of Mark E. Smith filtered through a Southern American lens. Released on Three Lobed Recordings, the album arrives as a bracing debut that feels both deeply rooted and urgently of-the-moment.
Musically, RIBS deliver a compelling blend of fuzzy drone, layered guitars, and locked-in, human drumming — all anchored by slinky bass lines and tight, hypnotic grooves. Wallace's doomsday-tinged lyrics ride atop the band's s(l)ick rhythmic foundation with wit and grit, making Cold Ribs a record that feels as much like prophecy as it does like rock music.
