Medicine

recorded in three purpose-built private home studios (in norway, greece and los angeles), 'medicine' rubs pop's obsession with prince up against his love of bolan, throws in a little paul mccartney, some early stooges, a chunk of lindsey buckingham and even a dash of peter gabriel, for a record which channels bubblegum pop through satanic ritual and classic rock for one of the oddest, funniest, most compellingly unique records you're likely to hear in 2012.
