I am a bit late with the review of the laast great album from LUCERO but I am sorry, I swear. “That Much Further West” is the new fantastic creature from this four piece band who plays like The Weakerthans doing Tom Waits’ covers: their songs are semi-acoustic, ranging influences from folk to punk rock to pop. Imagine Against Me! playing Murder By Death’s tunes. That’s it. The album starts with unique tunes as “Mine Tonight” and “Sad And Lonely”, and it’s really amazing to see how the band can play catchy music with a punk attitude, singing about loneliness, lost love, life experiences and so much more. The disc has got the higher moments on songs like “Hate And Jealousy” and “Tonight Ain’t Gonna Be Good”, two punk songs that show how LUCERO are not only great musicians but even original songwriters. If you ever liked the bands mentioned in this review, check out LUCERO because I think you will be pleasantly surprised.
