[engl] By our fourth release it shoudn’t be too hard to talk about an album. But now that Owen Temple Quartet has entrusted us with the release of «Rot in the Sun», it appears that we have our work cut out for us. However thrilled we could have been by the band members’ other activities (No Guts No Glory, Bad Chickens, Rodéo Massacre...), it soon became obvious that «Rot in the Sun» was a mysterious record, one with a powerful identity. This last album spits out a thick richness and contagious darkness, with urges reminiscent of the Gun Club and Chrome Cranks, a Movie Star Junkies-esque fever with Nick Cave’s ceremonial tone. «Rot in the Sun» is one of those albums whose theme and atmosphere just won’t go away. It conveys a feeling of des- truction, the clarion call to a battle that will spare no musical entity. Owen Temple Quartet insist here on their subtlety and power, a gripping, vibrant, lively, power.
