Ideal Cleaners - Far as You Know

Ideal Cleaners have been kicking around Lincoln, NE for around seven or so years now with a handful of releases to their credit achieving what is probably veteran status out there now. Their last disc Muchacho was in fact the one that introduced me to these guys and was impressed enough with it to say a few words way back when. I can’t say I was aware that they had a new one out, but was delighted to see this disc show up with what would hopefully be another set of solid rockers that clocks in around 30 to 35 minutes.

Sure enough, that’s what we have with Far as You Know and the nine tracks that make up what would be their third full-length at this point. Once again being brought to you by Speed! Nebraska, the album has the band doling out the jams once again that fall somewhere between something like Queens of the Stone Age, thanks to the clean vocals, but with noticeably more edge/rawness that hints at sort of a Touch & Go feel at times. Not a whole lot has changed from what I’ve heard from the band in the past, and really that’s to be expected from these guys. At this point I’d assume that they are pretty well settled on what they want to do and that appears to be churning out some solid rock, getting drunk, and playing some shows…not necessarily in that order. Always a fan of what these guys put out, here’s to hoping they have it in ‘em for awhile longer.
