Although they’ve appeared on several comps in the past couple of years, Puny Human is finally back after a 2 ½ year break since their last full-length, ‘Revenge is Easy.’ The sound is a bit smoother and the samples are gone, but they’re bringing it harder and groovier than ever with ‘It’s Not the Heat, It’s the Humanity.’<br>
The music on this album is a perfect fit for Dave Bias’ b-movie, chix-with-gunz cover art. Hot, propulsive rhythm and psychedelic fuzz-grooves shoot this bad boy over the centerline at 100+ miles per hour and straight through the guardrail. This music combines off-kilter lyrics with a heavy, Sabbathy stoner feel and takes it south of the Mason-Dixon line, stopping off for an extra dose of Clutch Comfort and mixing in a dash of Throttlerod and 60 Watt Shaman. This is wrestling rock for the intelligent outlaw, ‘specially made for a bearded ivy league dropout with a penchant for doing whippets with Harry Crews.
I’m not necessarily advocating this, but if you must Bong and Drive, I can think of few better soundtracks than ‘It’s not the Heat, It’s the Humanity.’<br>
