The Embrooks – “Human Living Vampire” / “It’s Time You Realised” (Spinout Nuggets SN033) April 2021
The Embrooks have been around for a couple of decades and after their initial burst onto the scene back in the late nineties have sporadically reconvened, most recently with this MONO two-sider on Spinout Nuggets during the height of the Covid-19 pandemic.
This single is essentially their follow-up to the 2016 State Records release “Nightmare” / “Helen”, which was their first 45 since 2003.
“Human Living Vampire” is a Alessandro Cozzi-Lepri original number, here presented in a dynamic mono mix.
It’s a hard driving psych rocker with jangle, twisted drum patterns and lyrical content extolling the ‘joys’ of human vampires. Who hasn’t experienced these selfish life-sucking creatures during their lifetime?
The other side is their faithful interpretation of “It’s Time You Realised” originally released in 1966 by Australian group The Morloch.
Perhaps the best place to hear their freakbeat winner is on the compilation “Diggin’ For Gold” Volume 5.
