Mojo Thief ​E​.​P.
self-released; 2018

4.0 out of 5

By Jamie Robash

I’ve heard it said that when you quit smoking food is supposed to taste better and you’re supposed to be able to smell things better. Maybe I’ll find out if that’s true someday. I often wondered if the same was true about music and drinking.

Being a teetotaler now do I hear music in a different way than I did when I was balls to the wall out of my mind at a show or just listening to music at home? Was it that much better when I was loaded? It’s hard to say but I’d like to think that good music can sort of overcome a state of mind and sound good no matter what.

The Oklahoma City psychedelic rock quartet Mojo Thief play a boozy sort of back room bar rock that I cut my teeth on and continued to find myself surrounded by for so many years after. It’s just the nature of the beast, the nature of the Midwest. There are certain kinds of bands you only find in middle America as there are other kinds of bands that you find on either coast, in the denizens of New York and Los Angeles.

The latter two to me have always seemed more stylized, having essentially less to do with the music than the image. The problem with that is is that after time image fades, it changes, and if the music isn’t worth a damn then the legacy turns to dust and is gone.

I think Mojo Thief know this and by nature refuse to become artifacts of movement past. On their self-titled EP Mojo Thief, they take that sort of blistering psych rock of the ‘70s and add some soulful grooves and singer Brian Sanders’ vocals, which reminded me at times a little of Jeff Buckley, that really help to mellow out the harder tinges of rock these songs sometimes jaggedly escape to, as he does so nicely on the album’s opener “Disco Eagles” and later on the glam meets reggae meets prog-rock of the gorgeous and melodic “19 & Failing.”

​The song shows the tightness and control of fellow band members, guitarist Marty Simon Guitar, bassist Paige Vernon and Kris Buck Buchanan on the drums. And when these guys come to play rock n’ roll, as they do so nicely on the rich and raucous “Down the Line” one comes to understand and marvel in the beauty and richness of classic rock n’ roll that Mojo Thief plays so well.

With a genre bending church organ start, Mojo Thief’s, new EP leads with Disco Eagles, quickly adds a strong bass line and Steely-Dan-esque guitar to bring you back. Very enjoyable mix of hard and soft rock elements. Thou Shalt Not pushes a heavy sound that brought me back to Queensrÿche's 1999 Q2K. My favorite track, 19 and Failing, takes you on a ride with a Steely start and lovely melody that I can listen to over and over again. Down the Line slowly head-bangs onto stage with a heavy sound and ballad feel. Rock and Roll, indeed. Closing with the rapid-fire Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, you're left toe-tapping to the old school rock and roll. Blue Öyster Cult influence, perhaps? With this release, Mojo Thief brings an all-hits contender. Every track is golden
