Band: King Khan & Pat Meteor
Release: 3/2010
Label: Sub Pop
1. “The Fiery Tears of St. Laurent” – B+
2. “Bon Bon” – A-
Comments: The kind of music you’d expect with a title such as The Fiery Tears of St. Laurent. This is slow cooked rock and roll with a distinct rural aesthetic. Would it be okay to call it at least one part country? It’s French-Canadian goodness…what I believe they call néo-trad. I’d like to say Meteor sings on the first track and that Arish Khan spearheads the treat called “Bon Bon.” Even though “Bon Bon” is as lyrically simple as a song can come, it has a great atmosphere that reminds me positively of the culture surrounding the classic visit to Quebec that Chris and I (amongst other students) embarked on five years ago.
Grade: B+ (89)

“Would it be okay to call it at least one part country?” As Mr. Khan himself described it with that word when he mentioned it during his recent tour I think it would be all right. There’s a story behind this, not quite as sensational as the Almighty Defenders story but one that they liked to talk about in interviews.
