The almost 10-minute "Blue", which comes with an opening that may remind you of "Cherub Rock", is one of the more impressively vast tracks on Royal Thunder's debut LP, CVI, out now on Relapse. The Atlanta, Ga., band's fronted by Miny Parsonz, a singer and bassist who really sings: the quartet's Southern hard rock riffs are there, as is a deep, doomy atmosphere (they tap into post-punk and schizo psychedelia on this one), but time again she's the one who brings it all together-- and over-the-top-- with her sun-cracked, Robert Plant-style howl.
