Ain't My Lookout (1996)

B+

Details Lead Performance: The Grifters; Genre: Rock

Skewing their usual mix of Southern gothic brooding and Southern-fried boogie toward the glum side, the Grifters' fourth full-length, Ain't My Lookout, makes clear why they're such favorites with the literocki. Just when their epic soundscapes threaten to become utterly humorless, they lighten things up with Beach Boys-style harmonies and hipster-baiting jabs. B+
