OVERHEAR: Ketamines - "You Can't Serve Two Masters"


In the year or so since the release of Ketamines' debut LP Spaced Out, the band members have undergone a lot of personal change. It's good to hear musical proof, then, that the band itself is alive and well. This morning the Lethbridge-via-Toronto psych/garage heavyweights announced a new record coming out in the "summer" from Mammoth Cave/Southpaw.

If the title track, "You Can't Serve Two Masters", is any indication of what's to come, this summer just got a bit gnarlier. It's little more than a defiant refrain and a wicked fuzzy guitar lick alternating with motorik jamouts, but the midway-point synth riff gives a hint of the kooky power the full length is sure to be chock full of. Groovy.
Listen to the song below. Also below, check out footage of Ketamines and B.A. Johnston tearing Saskatoon a new one last year at MoSo Fest (Ketamines come in at about 5:00).
