\"\"Gaze if you will upon the size of these riffs. I kid you not, Turbowolf<\/strong>\u2019s sophomore effort ‘Two Hands’<\/em> is a bona fide avalanche of monstrous, single-mindedly face-melting tracks. It\u2019s not just the writing either, it\u2019s also the monolithic intensity of tones and textures employed. Combining elements of punk, classic rock, and stoner, the band have dropped, to my eyes, one of 2015\u2019s finer aural assaults. Sceptics won\u2019t be for long. <\/figure>\n

There\u2019s nothing particularly ferocious to it, however, in that the band shouldn\u2019t be mistaken for aspiring to the raw fierceness of hardcore, for example. Turbowolf<\/b> quite evidently swear only by the power of fun, which results in a joyous, raucous energy. Every element of the band\u2019s style is conceived around getting the most fun out of it: the choruses and hooks are predictably catchy the album over, the riffs ooze with personality, and there\u2019s a surprising element of variety going on throughout. <\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

Particular highlights include ‘Rabbit\u2019s Foot’<\/em>’s fuzz-heavy riffage; ‘Invisible Hand’<\/em>’s multiple shifts from floaty album opening to blistering punk track to stoner finale; \u2019Rich Gift\u2019<\/em>’s superb prog-rock tangent (which only goes to show they\u2019ve mastered the long-form as much as the short); and finally their stoner finale ‘Pale Horse’<\/em> and the micro moment of greatness that is interlude ‘Toy Memaha’<\/em>.<\/p>\n

If you like rock music, I\u2019d struggle to believe you cannot appreciate what Turbowolf<\/strong> are doing at the moment. They not only honour the very tradition of rock, they appear to embody it completely. ‘Two Hands’<\/em> is a belter, and the most entertained I\u2019ve been by any piece of music this year. <\/p>\n
