SONG OF THE DAY (29 APRIL 2015)
Straight Arrows - Petrified (2014)
Australian garage psych. Review from UNCUT, July 2014
STRAIGHT ARROWS - Rising
(AGITATED)
“I figured it was kinda punk to have a name that essentially meant we were all uptight and moralistic,” sneered Straight Arrows singer Owen Penglis in a recent interview, epitomising the Sydney primitivists penchant for the cluelessly confrontational. As rugged and atonal as their 2010 debut It’s Happening, second outing Rising sticks to their slashed-speaker Nuggets blueprint. The Seeds’ hokey psychedelic album Future playing at the bottom of a particularly deep well, the breakneck “Can’t Stand It” and “Make Up Your Mind” exorcise Straight Arrows’ speed demons, with “Changing Colours” a momentary grasp for Byrdsy sophistication.
Reassuringly uncomplicated. (7/10)

here ya go:
i don't know what it is you've done, but it's got me petrified
all i do is stand and stare and still i'm so uptight
looking at the picture
i don't know why, i'm petrified
i can't stand to move my mouth, the motion burns my eyes
the fear, the thought, the spectacle, it's got me hypnotised
connection, yeah, it lingers on, it haunts me through the night
still i can't get close to you, to speak, make myself right
