Despite the best efforts of Kurt Cobain—who did everything but mail copies of Meat Puppets II albums to suburban teenagers everywhere—Meat Puppets have always been comfortably ensconced in the underground. The adopted Austin residents’ scattershot sound comprises acid-fried country rock and strange psychedelic experiments, but some great songs lurk within all the weirdness. After many years apart, the band returned with 2007’s Rise To Your Knees and (relatively) quickly followed it up with the new Sewn Together, an appropriately titled, hastily assembled mélange of oddball honky-tonk, eatin’-peyote-’round-the-campfire ballads, and other songs that sound like they’ve been staring into the sun too long.
