Singing double bassist TO M MANSI & THE ICEBREAKERS' debut album is a dark and twisted rock' n' roll, country blues record. Their songs are superbly crafted, catchy and dark. Some of them gallop along so fast - propelled by JAMES JOHNSTON 's fantastic drumming and PAUL "the Iceman" WHITE's sharp, reverb-soaked guitar - that there is barely time to catch a breath. The 'Small Change'-era Waits vocal inflection is a wonderful texture that gel's it all together.
