Review
Detroit's Whirlwind Heat have way more in common with Stooges Larry, Moe and Curly than Iggy's band. After three years of worldwide touring with the White Stripes and a Jack White-produced big label debut, these tricksters have followed the fanfare with an indie EP of ten one-minute songs. Townie Brendan Benson helped the group wrestle the written-in-the studio music to tape; the whole thing took five hours. Barring jokes about time investment, the Heat fashion a rock sound on just bass, keyboards and drums -- no guitar. Some of it passes for great… Read More garage rock riffage (distortion fests like "Muffler" and "Meat Packers") and adventures in sound manipulation ("Flamingo Lawns"), while other bits sound like a slap bassist's practice tape ("No Gums," "Ice Nine" and again, "Muffler"). Life is short, and Whirlwind Heat get that; Flamingo Honey is worth its ten minutes.
