What's Eating Gilbert Grape

Debut EP from this Cornwall-based quartet who take the usual guitar, bass and drums structure and add into the mix sitar, cello, ebow, djembe and theremin for their self-described ‘psychedelic art rock’.

Musically this makes WEGG quite interesting with an often retro, laid-back vibe that makes little concession to the regular song format and instead builds a wall of sound topped off by the drone vocals of Tom Hart. This works particularly well on the tracks ‘I’m Always’ and ‘Ten Years’, the former also highlighting some impressive guitar work. Whilst references to Jane’s Addiction and Hendrix in the PR might be a little optimistic WEGG boast an original sound and there is much to be said for that alone.
