Andrew W.K. - Close Calls With Brick Walls/ Mother of Mankind

Review by Rich Hanscomb

Andrew WK's ‘lost’ third album afforded a well-deserved international release. CCWBW is essentially the convoluted follow up to his criminally under-rated second effort, The Wolf. »

us pressing of 2006's japan-only record. be prepared for ultra-bombast, as this record holds a flame to the gas can of music as you know it. 2007 has been a tremendous year for andrew w.k.; he is readying two new records, he embarked on a speaking engagement tour, is opening a club in new york, played bass on the european current 93 tour, and is readying a television show. 'close calls with brick walls' is andrew w.k. s third full-length record and unifies the experimental forays of his earlier career and his over-the-top rockulism he tackled starting with his 'i get wet' debut full-length. packaging on this release is over-the-top and features a 10-inch full colour booklet paired with a deluxe gatefold sleeve.
