About This Item
2011 from the Detroit Garage rockers. Nearly 10 years after their critically-acclaimed album Ultraglide in Black helped kick-start a renewed interest in all things Detroit and Rock 'n' Roll, The Dirtbombs this de facto companion piece. Where Ultraglide was a covers collection of '60s and '70s Soul gems, Party Store is an assortment of live-band interpretations of classic Detroit Techno music of the '80s and early '90s. The subject matter runs the gamut from materialistic future-disco braggadocio (InchSharevari,Inch originally by a Number of Names) to cold, post-industrial isolation (InchAlleys of Your Mind,Inch originally by Cybotron) through the instrumental optimism of a worldwide house classic (InchStrings of Life,Inch originally by Derrick May). All these themes encapsulate the climate of Detroit both now and at the time of their initial . Let it be said clearly this record addresses both the past and the future of Detroit. Album Tracks 1.
