Devil's Courthouse is the 7th full length record from the prolific Buzzshackler, on which he yet again remakes his sound, moving from guitar-over-looped-samples to drums-in-the-basement.
The vibe of the record is twofold: anger and hope, each resonating over its own side. The listener is invited into his urban, but decidedly not urbane, netherworld, a world in which junk food and porn are hungrily and regularly consumed. Buzzshackler's trademark acoustic work returns to prominence, including notables Tuggin' At The Line and Swiss Cakes & Oui. The final song, Fog Machine, its guitar sound arguably derived from a Hendrix exposure or two, is the perfect distillation, dreamlike and disconnecting.
