The Men – “Maybe I’m Crazy”
There was a time (2010-2014, specifically) when the Men were kicking out a new album every year, earning rave reviews and a fervent following for their rangy and wide-ranging approach to rock ‘n’ roll. They changed a lot along the way, evolving from confrontational noise-punks into something like garage-rock descendants of fellow nondescript nomenclature aficionados the Band, rockers with rootsy underpinnings and a rotating cast of frontMen. They’ve slowed down slightly since that early-decade stretch, but the New York rockers are back this year with the follow-up to 2016’s Devil Music. Drift, which finds them reuniting with old label home Sacred Bones, marks the Men’s tenth anniversary as a band, and apparently they’re still mutating. Lead single and album opener “Maybe I’m Crazy” is a murky oscillating dance-punk track that finds the midpoint between Suicide and Gil Mantera’s Party Dream. Listen below.
