Consistently the provocateurs who push the boundaries between the wacky and wonderful, 9 o’clock Nasty deliver perhaps their most psychedelic and trance inducing track yet on “Dude, Your Mom’s A Squid?”. The lyrics, which themselves delve into a trip that’s induced and kickstarted from having a mushroom pizza, quite possibly with a rather questionable topping. They then go into exploring an encounter with god, and finding out that your mom’s a squid? It’s wacky, wonderful, and thrives on its absurdity and oddities. Far more outlandish than they’ve ever been, it’s also sonically perhaps the most experimental approach that the group has taken so far.
Using a far more progressive rock build up, with a keenly distinct and differentiated soundscape, 9 o’clock Nasty tone down the overwhelming raw garage arrangements for one that’s a lot more smooth and enveloping on this piece.
It’s a woozy exploration that leaves you immersed and on your own trip.
