Heart On

From their goofy name to singer Jesse "The Devil" Hughes's porno moustache, Eagles of Death Metal looked like a trifle. Three albums in, however, the band has emerged as a relentlessly fun sex-rock vehicle. 'Heart On' keeps the party going, slicking their desert trash blues with ZZ Top beats without neglecting the "Eagles" part of their name. Boozy country rock like "How Can a Man With so Many Friends Feel so Alone" and "Now I'm a Fool" come off like a fuzzed-out version of their famous namesake. "Wannabe in L.A." is the perfect example of their style, however. Casually debauched, breezy, and propulsive, it sounds like a pair of cheap sunglasses.

"On their third album, the duo are as danceable as ever, but they've tiptoed away from straight musical pastiche, crudding up their blues boogie with low-fi fuzziness and odd-ball percussion."
-ROLLING STONE

"'Heart On' vaults right over, taking flight on an updraft of woozy audacity and shuddering riffs."
-SPIN

"The title track and "Prissy Prancin'" flaunt some of EODM's best assets: Booty shakin' grooves topped with loud, grimy guitars."
-ALTERNATIVE PRESS
