Side B starts with “Little Girl,” a love song with doom rock bass riffs and post-punk drums. “Gemini” hits even harder, with squeaky, almost tortured bass and race to the finish drums (which makes sense since it was the last track recorded for side A of the vinyl release). “Trainwreck 1979” is about a deadly crash of a chlorine train tanker and hits about as hard. Jack White, head honcho at Third Man Records, probably loves the title of “White Is Red,” and he can’t argue with the heartfelt lyrics.
The bass on “Going Steady,” however, is almost like drone synth rock. “Where have all the virgins gone?” the band wonders on “Virgins,” which has a wickedly slick bass groove that’s hard to describe. “Right on Frankenstein” has enough electro-fuzz in it to bring an animated corpse to life.
Drums, bass, and vocals are more than enough. Recorded September 30, 2015, Live at Third Man Records is a fast, furious capsule of the raw energy of Death from Above 1979 ( Sebastien Granger – drums and vocals, Jesse Keeler – bass and vocals).
