REVIEW
Ssaucer Ssalvage (Diamond Sutra)
Guitarist/songwriter Joey Maltese wandered all over the musical map since his days in NYC's Toyz. Originally released in 1993, Ssaucer's debut Ssalvage focuses his vision(s). Working with singer/lyricist Sara Hechtman and drummer Patrick Giles, Maltese blends hard rock, psychedelia and pop into an alt.rock aesthetic that sounds both of its time and apart. "Colorless" boasts an ethereal melody and a mix of lush acoustic and spiky electric guitars, while "LOVE-sex-TOUCH-thing" adds a sexy vibe without pandering to the LCD. "Be Still" blends shimmering folk rock and rhythmic new wave, while "Swarm (Just Another Crisis)" ranges from quirk pop to industrial to acid rock to everything in between. Strong tunes and performances make it a marvel that Ssaucer never became better known than they were.
