The Hoodoo Gurus followed the excellent Stoneage Romeos with the equally swell Mars Needs Guitars!, a second helping of Dave Faulkner's wonderfully skewed kitsch-pop confections. While the band's basic m.o. hasn't changed all that much in the interim -- '60s-era pop, garage rock, and cowpunk remain their key musical reference points -- Faulkner's skills as a songwriter have grown perceptibly: the opening &Bittersweet& is an absolute gem, with other highlights like &Death Defying& and &Show Some Emotion& trailing not far behind. Also commendable is the Gurus' sharp wit -- from the hillbilly freakout of &Hayride to Hell& to the primitive B-movie stomp of the title track, their affection for the guilty pleasures of trash culture is infectious. Irresistible fun.
