Sixty-seven year old Denny Brewer and his son, Denny Junior, form the nucleus of Refried Ice Cream, operating out of a home studio East of El Paso. Their website mixes anti-establishment paranoia with natural remedy advice. “Criminals are running our government!” “Use cinnamon to help diabetes!”
Their album features sententious gobbets of beatnik wisdom and slashing swathes of heroically distorted blues licks sprayed over vast, pummelling, free-form, backing. Witness To The Storm appears to have been recorded, and composed spontaneously, in an echoing cave, and doesn’t quite sound like anything else ever.
In a world of desperate fake freaks, Refried Ice Cream are the real deal.
