Another day, another retro loving blues rock band. The Lucid Furs have a bit of an advantage being from one of the cities that spearheaded that 70's rock revolution, Detroit, Michigan. With years of heritage behind them due to their location, you would expect The Lucid Furs to be well versed in blues rock and you would be right. This second album wraps up blues, rock, soul and funk in one neat little package with the smoky, speakeasy sounds on Explain, more psychedelic rocking on Right On My Level and Pull The String as Conscious rumbles with the jazz rhythms of Dan Regenauer (drums) and Nick James (bass).
The album is structured well, not every song is just mindless rock n roll, there's a real soul feel to these songs, the spirit of Detroit acts such as Alice Cooper, The MC5 and Grand Funk Railroad. Another Page having those wild guitars and vocals GFR are the masters of, Geordie Kasza's guitar rooted in the blues but never constrained by it, just listen to those grunge vibes on Over Again. Vocally Karen O'Connor is from the Elin Larsson, Ann Wilson and Janis Joplin school of singing, full of power and grit. As the album ends with the acoustic tones of A One Time Investment, you're keenly aware that the camaraderie of this band is what drives them, it feels like many of these songs are more like jams than composed tracks and is more exciting because of it. Another retro loving blues rock band? Yeah but a good one. From: https://musipediaofmetal.blogspot.com/2021/10/reviews-lucid-furs-human-veil-anti.html
