Centro-matic has a great new EP out now called Operation Motorcide whose 8 songs are non-album tracks from the recording sessions that produced the band’s stellar 2006 album Fort Recovery. Leftovers (however), these are not. I’m thoroughly convinced that Will Johnson and company are unable to make music that doesn’t tug at your heartstrings a little and leave you yearning for more. Centro-matic’s music is can plaintive and honest but also raw and powerful. The songs on Operation Motorcide (despite their greatness) were left off Fort Recovery because they wouldn’t have worked as well on that album as they do here; a perfect companion piece to Fort Recovery as well as something to tide us fans over until the next record.
