X-Ray Vision "Panique Au Biblos" 2018

...A lot of these are covers: “A Shot in the Dark”, “Le Clan de Siciliens”, “Hernando’s Hideaway” and “Beat Girl” but the album feels fresh on the merit of the other tracks and these help cement the theme. There’s also a cover of Jerry Cole’s “Border Run” but their take on it to me feels closer to Cole’s own refined version “Power Surf”...
...Admittedly I haven’t checked out X-Ray Vision’s previous LP but this feels like a band that really wanted to go the extra mile on their sophomore album. These songs feel refined and most importantly it really comes together as an album. I’m kind of bummed that playing these on my radio show will lose that greater context. Give it a listen on bandcamp or buy the vinyl! - Submitted by Hunter on Fri, 10/19/2018
