The front-person, Micah Butler, is one of the most kindhearted people on the planet (which is not unusual in the folk punk scene strangely). What makes Micah stand out as a human being to me, though, is that he will never lie or hide the truth to make something less awkward or more beneficial for himself. He will always tell it to you straight, even at great personal risk. He’s honest to the core. That alone should make you interested in picking up Talk is Cheap, Guns Are Expensive, but there’s more because he’s a fantastic song-writer who has enlisted a terrifying, bombastic army of folk punkers to play on this album with the rest of his band. One of the the best parts of this album is the way in which it doesn’t idealize traditional music or take the easy road of using traditional sounding aspects to harken back to a simpler time. It fully acknowledges with its sound that there were no simpler times and it takes complicated persons to rise to the challenges human beings have been facing since our inception as a species. The album mimics the cacophony of the modern world with traditional instruments. The tracks you’ll hear on this album are busier than any Hong Kong subway station. They bustle with electricity. The horns here are combative but friendly, like a buddy who has had too much to drink. One begins to feel like Micah is a magician who has a bottomless magic top hat full of talented musicians as each track accelerates the frenetic energy by piling more din on top of the already rollicking raucous. Through it all Micah’s voice sits on top of the pile of buzzing, living sinew. There’s just something that seems more genuine about a kind voice that’s at the head of a wave of insanity and chaos. This album puts both black metal artists and solo singer-songwriters in their place. To solo singer-songwriters: you think your lyrics are cutting and honest? Try cutting through the calamity of any of the tracks on this album and still sounding honest. To black metal artists: Good thing you’re staying home anyway, because all the full stacks in the world can’t keep up with the harsh discord of this album. Also out on Goathead Record Collective!
