Dennis Palmer - White Wuff

Many digs on this composition by Dennis Palmer. The balance of so many different sounds is absolutely perfect. Music and melody colliding with noise and mayhem. Nothing is overdone, everything nestles together making White Wuff a composition to delightfully get lost in. This might come across as a strange connection, but many times i keep hearing Snakefinger cadence and rhythms. Just a thought, cause White Wuff gambols around the more singular style of  Philip Charles Lithma. The energy is there though, playfulness and creativity, the joy of great sound and structure. Dennis Palmer pushes towards the fringes but does this in such away listeners are comfortable and connected. Like "Ever Loving Normberg" and "July Screech Dragon", perfect sonic implosions to keep the conscious from sinking. And "Chongo", the longest track with a tasty inland jungle feel. Diving into Les Baxter with a slight grin for how far we are now. White Wuff growls at us with a guttural beauty and a laid back smoothness. Difficult qualities to combine but done with absolute brilliance.
