"Red Swine" by Aussie psych-rock band Lord Dodongo is a wonderful adventure of a song - these are the best!
Built on a great groove, the progressive influences of the production do a great job of throwing some listeners for a loop. I began the song expecting certain turns and actions and after a few bars, it became apparent that we were headed down a different musical path. Lord Dodongo guides the listener through a gauntlet of guitar phrasing and groove turns that in some ways remind me of The Mars Volta, masters at defying sonic expectations. The guitar lead lines are well placed, sharp and well executed. "Red Swine" painted my mind with thoughts of serial killers, violence and debauchery... and I liked it. This song is right at home on a Halloween playlist. Lord Dodongo - you nailed it. I would love to see a video for this.
