The recording features a large cast of musicians from the outfits past and its present helping the bands founder and sole constant Brian J Sulpizio achieve his idiosyncratic visiona sound and ethos hes been kicking around, retooling, and finessing for more than 15 years. The new album conveys a directness and scorching power that seems to stem from the bands live performances, whether the harrowing, droning blues of the opener Saturday Night or the soulful Irish-tinged folk-rock of Recourse. The most gripping and satisfying installment in Health&Beautys process yet, renowned Chicago music critic, Peter Margasak, has declared Shame Engine / Blood Pleasure as one of the great rock albums to emerge from Chicago this decade, and its surely one for fans of Jim ORourkes song-based output and The Sea & Cake, as well as appealing to anyone who enjoys Tonights The Night-era Neil Young.
