Mangy Love
Description
2016 release from the acclaimed singer/songwriter. Over the past decade, Cass
McCombs has established himself as one of our premier songwriters. It’s a
career that has twisted and turned, from style to subject, both between
records and within them. Diverse, cryptic, vital and refreshingly rebellious –
just when you think you have him pinned down, you find you’re on the wrong
track. However, Mangy Love is McCombs at his most blunt: tackling
sociopolitical issues through his uniquely cracked lens of lyrical wit and
singular insight. McCombs uses himself as a mirror to misguided and
confounding realities, confronting them head-on. The severity of his lyrics is
contrasted by the music, which ventures into groovy realms of Philly soul,
NorCal psychedelia and New York paranoia punk, articulating the spontaneity
and joy of his live show better than ever before. The record is unquestionably
a work of great studio aptitude: a carefully arranged, high-fidelity
production by veteran Rob Schnapf and Dan Horne. And as usual, McCombs is
joined by many notable members of his eclectic musical tribe, whose names are
proudly displayed on the back cover. Mostly written during a bitter New York
City winter and while traveling in Ireland, Mangy Love is Cass at the top of
his game, reaching new sonic heights, creatively evolving lyrically, and
resulting in his most provocative and complete record yet.
