For two decades Ben Wallers has been head-butting hotspots of race and gender, but his viscerally shambolic garage band The Country Teasers were sacred clowns, not dangerous dictators.
The Devil, however, is a polished gothic edifice, Wallers dwarfed by the sepulchral keyboards and Frippertronic guitars of some Satanic ’70s Italian prog band.
A stunning ten minute reading of Kool Keith’s dead-eyed Girls Want You sucks soil samples from hip-hop’s skull, sounding like Canned Heat slurring toilet cubicle scribblings at a bewildered blues festival crowd.
