Ever come across a record/CD that despite having some remote appeal, you opted to pass on simply because you decided you didn't "need" it at the time? I had over 30 years to ponder whether I really "needed" Rein Sanction's "Deeper Road" 45, and didn't jump on it until a few years back. After all, I already possessed the A-side on R/S's sophomore long-player,
Mariposa. Long story, I happened upon a discounted used copy of the single to your right, and was all the richer for it. There isn't much more I can say about these that I hadn't already intoned in my write-up for their
prior 7," "Creel," circa 2015. Imagine if you will buckets of spindly, stemwinding feedback a la,
Zuma-era Neil Young, clad to the atonal vocal schematic of J. Mascis, all bundled up in a grungy subtext, and that's Rein's formula in a nutshell, albeit conveyed in a denser and drony sonic panache. And yes, the non-LP flipside "R.K" was indeed worth the price of admission.
