Disposable Thumbs
We Watched the Sun Go Supernova EP
|
Ziggy played guitar - we know, we bought the album, we dyed the hair, and we wore the spandex. But then, Ziggy got boring, started wearing suits, and went by the name David. Please, darling.
Luckily, Disposable Thumbs (the nom de guitaire of Zach Lewis) remembers the good old days and have the kindness to rehash them for us, a kind of I Love the (Good Music of) the 70s. The touchstones on this debut EP range from early Costello (“Welcome to Guyana”) to Roxy Music (“Girl on Fire”). The topics are gleefully diverse, from “DIY brain surgery” to the “perils of a fashionista lifestyle,” but the key to Lewis’s music is his vocals; they’re a dynamic interpretation of the Thin White Duke himself, in all his melodramatic glory.
“I’m second place in the race for space!” Lewis cries on “Heavens to Betsy.” With any luck, he’ll wind up first - let’s just hope that his inspiration doesn’t turn to 80s Bowie.
