The Copper Gamins "Los Ninos De Cobre"

(Saustex) I was so mesmerized by this combo's debut EP that I was as much worried about letdown as I was excited to hear this full length. For a group that sounds like such  a bizarre, hypnotizing, raw force of nature, a year of polishing seemed like it could only hurt. Boy was I wrong. This Mexican caveman blues duo is simply incredible, sounding shamelessly like the White Stripes at their nastiest, if the White Stripes were actually some backwoods, off-kilter Lomax field recording find. Cobramarkable!
