Your first listen to 'Cough' by the Black Eyes will probably leave you confused and a little bothered. Why? Well because Cough couldn't possible make sense on your first listen. This cd spins a sound defined by chaotic bandwork and vocals that range from chanting to singing to talking to yelling and at times, all of these sounds at once. The rhythms seem like contradictions and the guitar work sounds like it may have been imported from another album entirely. Take your pots and pans , walk to the top of your stairs and drop those bastards down. Now rant and rave with a horn section behind you coaxing you on, daring you to tread closer to madness. Now imagine all of this unified by dark and hip bass work and you may be listening to Cough.
