Jackdaw With Crowbar - Monarchy Mayhem And Fishpaste




01 - The Night Albania Fell On Alabama
02 - Siren

03 - Crow
04 - Fourth World



The band's musical style was described by musician and writer as a combination of "spiky and dark guitar-driven blues and guitar-punk disco-filth". Discussing debut EP Monarchy, Mayhem, and Fishpaste, writer John Corbett described the music: "a song sung through a bull horn ("Crow"), an accordion reggae-dub ("Fourth World"), a two-step featuring slide guitar reminiscent of Zoot Horn Rollo in Captain Beefheart's Magic Band ("The Night Albania Fell on Alabama")." In Corbett's view, "the brief appearance of Jackdaw's records exemplifies the local-mode commodity at both its most appealing and its most politically volatile".
