I wonder what Freud would have to say about the video for “In My Mouth” by Nashville brother-duo JEFF the Brotherhood. Their puppet stand-ins are literally shouting “I put it in my mouth so it can get wet,” in front of a giant pair of lips. Oh, and did I mention that their dad, ak.a. Bob the Fatherhood, was one of the puppeteers? This whole thing is a psychotherapist’s field day. That said, “In My Mouth” is classic JEFF, with the big over-driven riffs one would expect from a band that loves whiskey and Weezer. Jake and Jamin Orral have long-since figured out a winning formula for bad-boy garage rock that’s carried this band through an entire decade of successful releases, and that’s basically forever in band-years. This past March, they released their eighth album, Wasted On a Dream, through Infinity Cat after being getting publicly dropped by Warner Brothers. Oh, well. No use crying over spilled corporate almond milk.
You can buy Wasted on a Dream here from Infinifity Cat Recordings and catch the boys on tour that starting today.
