self-titled
scum stats: few copies on clear vinyl, more copies on black
Worth the price of admission for album cover art alone, this album is a genuinely rewarding listen. The brains behind it all is the lovely Dean Fertita, best known around these parts as guitarist in the Dead Weather, utility man in the Raconteurs and an all-around badass in Queens of The Stone Age.
"Wheels Within Wheels" has been in my head all week, "Needles" is certifiably electric, "No Wonder" is arguably my favorite of the bunch, a funky workout with squelchy guitar affectation coloring the mood for the better...none of this sounds like any of Dean's other bands (or even his previous work under the Hello = Fire moniker)...but it all sounds unmistakably "Dean." While that might seem deceptively obtuse, if you know you know.
I'm giving away a limited clear vinyl copy of this record. All you have to do is write SOMETHING in the comments. Anything. Seriously, the way comments used to fly around here has me pining for the past. Maybe I choose the comment at random (so you know, you could just write "butt" or something inane and have an equal chance at winning as if you were quoting Chaucer) or maybe I actually put thought into it.
I'm hearing rumbling around the office that the black light black velvet flocked posters are gone/sold out, but if I can scrounge one up, I'll be damn sure to include that here as part of the giveaway. Get your comment in by midnight central Thursday November 10th to be considered for inclusion. But most importantly, stream the hell out of this record until then. It's worth the effort.
It’s getting cold up here in Toronto Canada and I would love nothing better this winter than to admire this black light poster ( if available ), but more importantly spins the hell out of this clear edition and wait for the tour announcement.❤️🇨🇦

How did I not know about this! Dean shines in whatever project he’s in. Can’t wait to hear it!
Holy shit Drew.
I was able to snag the poster and vinyl from the store so won’t be devastated if I don’t win, but if I do, I’ll be sure to share the joy with a friend and not turn it for a profit!
Cover art way cool, how did I miss the poster, I check every day. Must’ve been when I was rippin it at Steelton Skatepark yesterday!!! 🎸🦖🌋🦕🛹🐊
Drew F. just made me scroll way too much. F u Drew
Something? Anything? Ok.
There’s a dictation joke in there somewhere, I swear.
