Mezcal Head is Swervedriver’s second album, released in
1993. It’s basically a feast of guitars,
they hit a little harder than on debut Raise right from opening track For
Seeking Heat. Tracks like Duel and
Blowin Cool are less shoegaze and more heavy, catchy rock.
A couple of the tracks fall a little flat, MM Abduction is
fairly ordinary while the monotonous six and a half minute Last Train To
Satansville feels twice as long. Thankfully
the rest of the album recovers from this lull, the remaining tracks are very
consistent across the board, in the mould of Duel. Final track You Find It Everywhere may
actually be the pick of the bunch, ending the album with a flourish.
So not an album for introspective types looking for
meaningful song titles/lyrics, but for guitar aficionados it’s well worth a
listen.
