DWARVES Sugarfix













Artist: DWARVES
Title: Sugarfix
Year of Release: 1993
Label: Sub Pop
Format: CD

The Dwarves are gods and Blag Dahlia is a genius! There is really no other way to describe this transient mob who, year after year, release classic album after another.

'Sugarfix' is one of the Dwarves older releases, and is definitely rawer, and more stripped down than some of their recent efforts. The Dwarves are 100% punk rock and while they may not always sound like it, it's a spirit and it permeates all their releases.

I love that their records are short and convey the most in the least. They may not be as supercharged as Zeke, but their approach is different, though I'd argue if you find merit in one, you should also in the other.

I'm a big fan of Blag's sinister and depraved lyrics and they way they bubble over the saccharine sweet arrangements that many of their songs possess.

I found this great video... it's pretty recent, but I'm sure you'll agree that it's most worthwhile.
