worth another reblog, there is more emotion in this song than I have heard in a long long time. Hope Alex posts some more Oblivians
Bad Man - The Oblivians
Never heard of this band or this song but Alex sent it to me to put in my primal scream playlist and I can’t stop listening to it. So it’s my song of the day.
The Oblivians - Bad Man. This might be my favorite song. Greg Oblivian lays down one of the greatest vocals ever - epic, heroic, tragic. The crescendo he builds to in the first chorus is hair-raising - an absolutely awesome, throat-shredding performance verging on self-sacrificial - you wonder how he ever sang again. The guitar is an almost undifferentiated background haze, barely emerging leading up to the chorus. The dirty production evokes low haunts, dive bars - nobody’s even listening to his last scream. One of the few songs (if not the only) which, when it’s finished, I immediately play it again.
