Sick Of Love

arthur satan (also of meatards), the principal songwriter in the band, was a protege of looch vibrato of frances reknowned acid-punk duo magnetix, who are no strangers to the process of creating and delivering well crafted skull shattering sounds. arthur, together with j.c. satans lyricist paula h., have concocted a swirling mix of lyrically abstract songs about morning-after sex in a drug haze and fighting ones way out of hell. there are more black lips imitators out there now than there ever was for the oblivians/ gories, but j.c. satn has avoided trends and triteness to develop into a completely mature unit, defining their own style, and have wound up in a league of their own. musically the melodies have more in common with the darker psych melodies of can (she brings the rain especially), os mutantes (ave lucifer, specifically), the beatles (sun king, one of abbey roads most beautifully haunting moments) and perhaps even pink floyd at their moodiest.
