There is actually a growl to the way Portland’s How Strange It Is have shot off their riffs, makes for a rib rattling sound but not the kind that you’d turn away from at the same time. And that is because ‘Slime’ has a different side, in the way ‘Siamese Dream’ era Smashing Pumpkins had. And by that I mean that at the kernel of this track is the sheer brilliance of a tune poking its head from among all the barb filled heavy duty arrangements. Lifted me. KH
