Death Wish Blues by Samantha Fish.
Few records in recent years have captured the raw collision of blues grit and rock swagger quite like this collaboration. "Death Wish Blues" finds Samantha Fish stepping into some of her most fearless territory yet, a full length that burns hot from its opening moments and refuses to let up. This is a pressing built for listeners who want their blues loud, unfiltered, and dripping with attitude.
Produced by Jon Spencer, the album carries a distinctive fingerprint throughout. Spencer's hand behind the boards gives these songs a grimy, kinetic energy, letting Fish's guitar work snarl and sing in equal measure. The result is a record that feels lived in and dangerous, the kind of thing that rewards you for turning the volume up and letting the whole side play out.
Side A wastes no time establishing the mood. It opens with the title track "Deathwish" before rolling through "Down In The Mud," "Riders," "Settle For Less," "Trauma," and "No Apology." Each cut leans into a different shade of the record's dark palette, moving from muddy, low slung grooves to defiant declarations, all held together by Fish's commanding presence.
Flip to Side B and the momentum only grows. "Flooded Love" leads into "Lover On The Side," "Rippin' And Runnin'," "Dangerous People," and the swaggering "Supadupabad," before the album closes on the intimate "You Know My Heart." It is a satisfying arc, one that balances the album's ferocity with moments of tenderness and vulnerability, and it makes for a rewarding front to back listen.
This is an Indie Record Stores Exclusive edition, pressed on eye catching clear vinyl with black and orange swirls that make it a genuine standout for any collection. The package is completed by a printed inner sleeve that includes both lyrics and liner notes, giving you something to pore over while the music plays. Made in the U.S.A., it is a physical release that feels every bit as considered as the music it holds.
Collectors will want to note the identifying details on this exclusive: the sticker reads 1166102000 / INDIE, while the sleeve carries 1166101914, and the tracks are listed as 1 through 12 on the rear of the sleeve. Whether you are a longtime Samantha Fish devotee or a fan of Jon Spencer's unmistakable production style, this is a bold, uncompromising record that belongs on the shelf and, more importantly, on the turntable.
