![]() ![]() Existing as an amalgamate of Queens Of The Stone Age and the pendulum-like momentum of their Villains era, as well as harnessing an energy akin to The Gossip and Eagles Of Death Metal’s bastard child, there’s a natural continuation on the anthemic lyricism that was showcased in How Did We Get So Dark, even if they’re sonically disparate. The synchronicity between Kerr and Thatcher remains even more unparalleled than ever, with the drums taking a back seat in favour of the new disco-inflected sound. “Who Needs Friends” appeals to fans of the first album who were hooked by colossal riffs and the intuitive drumming from Ben Thatcher who knows exactly when to unleash chaos and when to reign it in, but they may be surprised by the wistful John Lennon hues of “All We Have Is Now”. Typhoons is also an ambitious feat for a band who made a name for themselves by redefining the rock category of tour de force duos. It’s both one with themselves, as a result of the whirlwind of success that they found off the back of 2014’s overdriven bass and punch-in-the-gut frenzy of their self-titled debut album, and also with an increasingly stagnant industry steadfastly opposed to innovation and change.
