ReINCArnation is the latest album from Manchester's Inca Babies, this time around as the title suggest they have Re-Incarnated songs from deep in blasted wastelands of Hulme's death rocks gods back catalogue. The Inca Babies rising from the death Rock ashes are Harry Stafford, Rob Haynes and Vincent O'Brien. All songs re-recorded by Harry Stafford and Rob Haynes and Vincent O Brien. Recorded & produced at 6Db in Salford by Simon 'Ding' Archer, Mastered by Marco Butcher at Boombox Studio, North Carolina.
The album opens taking us on a trip to This Train's delicious Candy Mountain a dark rumbling song for the sweet-toothed protagonist to find a way to kick that sugar addiction for real this time, the shakes and shivers of withdrawal give this a slightly twitchy edge.
Buster's On Fire the flames licking at him, flames fanned by this old 7" single's deep Bo Diddley beat, helping to keep them ice cold while the flames consume Buster in no time at all, a tragic tale of gas poisoning while they all chant Buster's On Fire. Daniella is slow and cold, with a dark rumbling undertow for the tale of just what happened to poor old Daniella when she was caught in the crossfire on This Train.
Two Rails To Nowhere is blasted northern blues, for someone caught fare dodging again, what a price he has to pay, this has the stately grace of Nick Caves Weeping Song, he can't believe he ended up in court, let alone being sent to jail for such a minor misdemeanour, was it that much of a hell bound train that it departed at the Evil Hour.
Jericho is the Big Jugulars preacher's blues for all the ills and travails they witnessed down Jericho way like a dubbed-out Gun Club. Phantom Track has them chasing ghosts and spirits of the Death Message Blues with the endless thirst they can never quench, no matter how twanged out the guitars are.
Devil In My Room a slow piano rumination of sparse reflection, that this isn't where you should breathe your last in that Opium Den, find a way to exorcise the demons, catching your indiscretions and the aftermath of this moment of Tindersticks sparse utterances, among the despair in the wake of Bill Marten's untimely departure.
The Diseased Strangers Waltz is slow dark brooding psychotic blues Rumble, for the damned and in despair, stumbling through life human cadavers wandering through your town, leaving the trail behind, a wake of disease. Damnation a memorable rumination on the state of guilt and retribution, slower piano begging for a less painful damnation along with a new Stereo Plan.
Thirst that never ending need for more of whatever that Opium Den got you addicted too, slower darker and more desperate than before, the perils of aging and surviving the ravages of the endless Thirst building like those desert dunes.
Superior Spectre has a Big Black style bassline, slowly marking time for the ghosts to Scatter and wreak havoc in tower blocks of Hulme again. The album closes with Cowboy Song that ups the beat, they almost sound happy, echo laden vocals make clear just how they have been transfixed by your spell, the Judge places a lariat around their necks, pulling them deeper into your world Mr Ace.
