Canuck surf twang, you say? Indeed Ontario's Legato Vipers cause plenty of mayhem with their mere 16 guitar snares. Their rolling riffs surface above the swamps of bluesy garage surf and garage rock, in a lower gear than might be fashionable these days; with Cronin, Segall and similar freaks setting new speed records. You could argue that surf music might seem a bit of an outlandish thought to an Ontario outfit. Well, on 'Brian's Beard', the Legato Vipers show they even know how to play mariachi music. On side B of this thunderous LP, the Legato Vipers merge cat creeping glitter rock rhythms like those of Mud, into a freely drifting bonanza, such as on 'Gangly Dancer'. There is no harm at this stage in dropping in the names of the likes of Dick Dale and Duane Eddy as 'LV' was recorded in obvious and sincere tribute to both of them.
Ripping through decades of instrumental guitar music history, 'LV' renders moments of joy to the already initiated and plenty of surprises to the young at heart. 'Don't Fear the Cab Driver Mister Reaper' is a neat combination in honour of both. I reckon even grizzly bears in Canada would know how to dance to this album.
The hidden extra CD track is a slowed down edit for the opening track, putting a stronger emphasis on its twanging riffs. Should your local pub not have this LP, leave immediately.
