Blues Pills – Blues Pills (2014)

Just when you thought there couldn’t be any more space on record company rosters for another ‘retro’ blues-rock band, this bunch of misfits come along. And by God is it worth the over-crowding. Playing a heavy rock that captures the spirit of the moment where the ‘60s bled into the ‘70s – think Free and Humble Pie – Sweden’s Blues Pills capture something very earthy about rock ‘n’ roll. This may look back to the past, but its more rootsy than pastiche. Keeping things raw rather than perfecting their pop sensibilities, the tunes here exist on the cusp of the point where a jam becomes a song, with a free-form spontaneity which adds spit and power. In guitar player Dorian Sorriax the band has a unique talent who can channel Rory Gallagher and Ritchie Blackmore at his most flinty without ever sounding like a copyman and adding a range of tones and timbres that brings these songs to life. But the real star of the show is vocalist Elin Larsson, who wails with the very best rock ‘n’ roll frontwomen – scratch that – frontpersons that have ever graced the music. Coupled with lyrics that largely avoid blues clichés to makes these songs tales of longing and living more affecting, and you have an inspired debut record.
