ROBERT POSS
Distortion Is Truth (Trace Elements)
Reviewed by John Sekerka

---

Anyone under the impression that Sonic Youth were/are/could very well be the kings of six string overkill never crossed paths with Band of Susans. What a glorious din of guitars, loops, wires and pedals that was. And still is actually. Chief Susan, real name Robert Poss, plugs back in to rekindle that old amp magic. Studio manipulation resurrects the familiar wall of sound, but Poss is quite at ease leaping in as a lone guitar gunman, even showing off some delicate restraint in skilful, strung-out fashion. Heh-heh, sorry.
