Originally released in 2008 on CD only by Black Pint Records,
Lakeside Cabin is finally getting the vinyl treatment. In addition to
the new format, the already excellent cover art has been improved upon with
a fantastic reworked layout. Having released three albums prior to this one,
Lakeside Cabin is the album in which The Creeps really broke out of
the mold they had started out in and found their own sound. You can hear the
transition from old to new throughout the album. While tracks such as "Bury
The Bodies," "The Creeps Are A Gas" and "Long Way Home" echo the style of
The Creeps' former albums, "All The Way Home" and "Baby, Hold On Tight"
showcase a much more eclectic style with the addition of strings and funky
bass lines. "Voices (Again And Again)" and "Palisades" also introduce new
elements into the mix in the form of acoustic guitars and those absolutely
perfect sparse backing vocals. Everything The Creeps released prior to
Lakeside Cabin is good, but everything released after is absolutely
essential. This album is a great place to start if you're just getting into
The Creeps. |
