Painkiller is the new solo album by Steve Kilbey, lead singer of The Church, his first in seven years. It is vast and immediete, lyrically intoxicating, musically loose and rocking or spacious and trippy. Painkiller swings from delicate, psychedelic pop songs to radiotronic, space-rock monsters. It stretches song structures and warps your mind through swirling highs and long comedowns. A masterpiece. The pump of sex, the swoon of drug, the struggle of man, a fix for a world in pain. |
