(2003)"Lack of Communication" is the first
album bygarage rock revival bandThe Von Bondies , released in 2001 bySympathy for the Record Industry , and released in the UK by Sweet Nothing Records. Much darker than subsequent directions undertaken by the band, the album was also produced by Jim Diamond as is evident in thelo-fidelity production quality.In addition to conventional Detroit garage rock, the album also displayed other influences, such as the
jazz yshowtune -esque song "No Sugar Mama." The tracks "Shallow Grave" and "Nite Train" both displaysurf rock passages, amidst their heavy pummeling and lyrical morbidity. "Cass and Henry" is a sparse, almostspoken word narrative of a nocturnal encounter with a tall stranger. "In the Act" and "Sound of Terror" contain droningslide guitar and considerably slow tempos. On the last track, after a silence following the song "Rock 'n' Roll Nurse", there's a hidden bonus track: a cover ofSam Cooke 'sBring It On Home to Me , withMarcie Bolen on lead vocals.
