Jacuzzi Boys, a garage/psych rock band, recently released their dreamy self-titled album, Jacuzzi Boys. While their last album Glazin had some good material, and even a video of lip-syncing vaginas to accompany one song, Jacuzzi Boys is the latest and greatest offering from the Miami trio. This new album is jam-packed with wild, lively tunes. Interestingly enough, the boys have Iggy Pop to thank for much of their fame. He said some kind words and helped spread the word of their existence, saying that the name sucks but the music has spirit. Though the name was originally a joke and something that just kind of stuck according to Bassist Danny Gonzales, Guitarist Gabriel Alcala and drummer Diego Monasteri joined Gonzales to make the dream of Jacuzzi Boys come alive. Together, they have conceived psych-filled albums with ultra catchy songs and unrelentingly groovy bass licks. The pure simplicity of Jacuzzi Boys makes their sound really stand out.
“Be My Prism” opens the albums on a great note. From the introduction of the keys, to the intro of the awesomely intrusive bass line, these guys lay down a hook from the start. 'Wake me up, Wake me up,' chimes a stargazing vocalist as the chorus lightly sweeps you away. The vocals are really clean and melodic, and I admire the simplicity of the vocals and guitar solos. The lucidity of the solos and vocals combined create a inviting atmosphere. “Rubble” has a slightly more aggressive feel and a faster pace overall. It’s a nice track to stick in the middle of the album to help loosen the cluster of unadulterated psychedelics going on.
“Guillotine” is an interesting track, featuring some prime use of electronics. It starts out slow and gloomy but eventually picks up the pace and turns into an upbeat beast of a song, full of emotion and soul. “Hot Line” and “Domino Moon” are classic examples garage rock. Each have memorable lyrics and equally as memorable accompanying melodies with smooth electronic background filler. “Ultraglide,” perhaps the most celestial song on the album, also serves as one of the better. The relaxed feel of this song settles the album down nicely as the last track and it ultra glides you back to earth after an airy trip.
