So here it is - the lost Summer Gets Electric album. One taste and you'll see why it's been sitting so long - Grade D dirty jams, even for SGE. But there's some hidden gems and a whole lot of fun in the all-out over-driven southern swamp rock assault.
White Light (Heat Comes Down) is the unreleased second session of SGE, featuring some of the magically insane electric guitar work of Evan Evans (and its title is an obvious nod to White Light/White Heat). This is the main session that helped define the identity of SGE, and is the only session actually recorded in the summer (July of 2006) other than the final Ultra Violet Haze album.
The vocals are way peaked out and every thing is on eleven (which makes finally releasing it on 11.11.11 all that much more appropriate), but this is probably the most hard-charging and dirty fun of all the SGE albums, and now that we are digging in the archives and broadening our horizons, it's time to share it for what it is.
It's been brought back to source files, re-edited and mastered, and is as tight as it's going to be. And, as always, the night ends with some D in the Mouth. Ultra-dirty classic.
