Ketamines are so good to me, so why did I sleep on this pretty little 7-inch for so long? Honestly, I hate to admit it, but a lot of times the records you send me get lost in the shuffle of tapes/LPs/7” and are never found, so just be happy I got to this one at all, maybe? Agreed. I never got to try ketamine back when I was still in playing shape where drugs were concerned but I do know it seems to be a fuzzy, fun-as-fuck trip to the nether-regions of the psyche, a lot like songs such as “Take Me To Your Leader,” actually. Then “Light Workers Lament” steps in and comandeers a dance from your lady with its Yardbirds (“Shape of Things” in particular) feel and somewhat psych-y delivery. “We Are 1” is a lot more polite, even more druggy, and represents perhaps the best trip you’ll have via this six-track, super-stacked EP (I think all 7-inches should be EPs, rather than a single backed by a b-side; make it so!), but “Right About Now” is a cute lil’ acoustic daydreamer too, followed by the almost funky indifference of “Change Your Ways,” which wraps things up. Keta-who? Keta-duuuuude!
