White
Vinyl.
At
the
core
of
Death
Valley
Girls,
vocalist/multi-instrumentalist
Bonnie
Bloomgarden
and
guitarist
Larry
Schemel
channel
a
modern
spin
on
Funhouse’s
sonic
exorcisms,
ZZ
Top’s
desert-blasted
riffage,
and
Sabbath’s
occult
menace.
On
their
third
album
Darkness
Rains,
Death
Valley
Girls
churn
out
the
hypercharged
scuzzy
rock
every
generation
yearns
for,
but
there
is
a
more
subversive
force
percolating
beneath
the
surface
that
imbues
the
band
with
an
exhilarating
cosmic
energy.
Album
opener
“More
Dead”
is
a
rousing
wake
up
call,
with
a
hypnotic
guitar
riff
and
an
intoxicating
blownout
solo
underscoring
Bloomgarden’s
proclamation
that
you’re
“more
dead
than
alive.”
The
pace
builds
with
“(One
Less
Thing)
Before
I
Die”,
a
distillate
of
Detroit’s
proto-punk
sound.
At
track
three,
Death
Valley
Girls
hit
their
stride
with
“Disaster
(Is
What
We’re
After)”,
a
rager
that
takes
the
most
boisterous
moments
off
Exile
On
Main
Street
and
injects
it
with
Zeppelin’s
devil’s-note
blues.
Darkness
Rains
retains
its
intoxicating
convocations
across
ten
tracks,
climaxing
with
the
hypnotic
guitar
drones
and
cult-like
chants
of
“TV
In
Jail
On
Mars.”
“Death
Valley
Girls
are
a
gift
to
the
world.”
