Experiencing Endless Boogie live accidentally in the mid-noughties, I assumed the band was a muso in-joke, but like all the best jokes Endless Boogie’s turns out to be quietly profound.
“What do you get if you cross those glorious late sixties/early seventies extended electric John Lee Hooker/Canned Heat blues jams with the repetitious zen drone brinkmanship of krautrock?” Fifteen years into the band’s quest, its eight tracks averaging ten punishing minutes a piece each, Long Island provides the answer.
Studied minimalism swings its mojo and the blues goes transcendental.
