about

What’s a band to do when the apocalypse finally comes and our brains are fried from being stuck indoors? Go bigger and better. Coffin Face, the new LP from Birmingham garage-psych/doom-garage/rock trio Table Scraps, is a serious record in the old-fashioned way that’s also kinda not serious at all.

Originally conceived as a concept album in 2018, where a band emerges from the rubble of a post-apocalyptic event, the very real catastrophe of 2020 meant that the LP became a soundtrack to reality rather than something more fanciful. Recorded and mixed entirely within the band’s lockup in Digbeth, Birmingham and with a welcome break after a punishing tour schedule around Europe and SXSW (where they soon counted Idles, Amyl & The Sniffers and Monster Magnet as new fans) the songs quickly became more expansive and ambitious with each of its 10 tracks now sounding like they would have sat comfortably on a hazily-remembered singles compilation of yore.

From the claustrophobic needling of ‘Never Liked It Anyway’ to the radioactively urgent blast of ‘Doom Generation’, there is also a more widescreen approach to be found where fuzz takes a backseat: ‘Apology’ snaps with spindly venom and three-part harmonies while ‘Heartache’ is the kind of melancholic lament you would find ringing out in a dark bar after an endless highway drive.

As ever, toxic hangers-on, bores and loudmouths are given both barrels on ‘You Only Wanna Get High’ and album opener ‘Threads’ gallops through a bombed out wasteland. ‘Judas Christ’ mutates 12-string twang through a black hole of Franken-fuzz. ‘God of the Rainbow’ also tackles “frontman as supreme deity” and is wrapped up in a south-eastern drone topped off with a blissed out psych-party treatment. ‘Heat Beat’, a surf track that sounds like it’s been through a blender and deep-fried, imagines the last dregs of humanity dancing through the night to survive in the desert.

Table Scraps have never shied away from the weird duality of rock music in the 21st Century. Making fun of toxic masculinity AND still rocking is surely the way to go and ‘Big Man’, in its ferocious simplicity is arguably the perfect example of this. Everyone wants to be respected (and feared) even if the classic rock-star-as-gunslinger trope is as tired a cliche as they come.

As the old saying goes in Birmingham: “It is what it is.” Coffin Face is a defiant statement that, end of the world or not, Table Scraps will continue to find their own way to obsessively celebrate rock music as a welcome respite for all of us in these troubling times.
