Review by Bradley Torreano

Picking up where their 7" singles left off, Sugarman Three provides 11 memorable, booty-shaking moments on this 2002 release. Although Sugarman Three has received many Jon Spencer comparisons from indie rock circles, Pure Cane Sugar is a slick and soulful slab of raw R&B that carries little of the screaming and noise of Spencer's outfit. Instead, they harness the sharp timing of funk and produce intensely groovy instrumentals with the occasional guest vocalist making an appearance. The best use of a singer is "Take It As It Comes," a James Brown-style number that uses a tight horn part to drive the song along while Sugarman Three jams away in all their funky glory. Other highlights include the mid-tempo groove of "Pure Cane," the Motown-esque "Modern Jive," and the saxophone extravaganza "Country Girl." The key to Sugarman Three's magic is the tension they manage to pull out of these songs, making each glorious breakdown seem like a genuine release. Soulful, swaggering, and fun, Pure Cane Sugar is a fantastic modern funk release that journeys into the complicated rhythms and basslines of the genre's heyday and comes back ready to dance.

Revisión por Bradley Torreano
Retomando donde quedaron sus singles de 7 ", Sugarman Three ofrece 11 momentos memorables y temblorosos en este lanzamiento de 2002. Aunque Sugarman Three ha recibido muchas comparaciones de Jon Spencer de los círculos de rock indie, Pure Cane Sugar es un hábil y conmovedor bloque de crudo R & B que lleva poco de los gritos y el ruido de la vestimenta de Spencer. En cambio, aprovechan el agudo momento del funk y producen instrumentos intensamente geniales con la presencia ocasional de un vocalista invitado. El mejor uso de un cantante es "Take It As It Comes" "un número al estilo de James Brown que usa una parte de cuerno apretado para llevar la canción mientras Sugarman Three se aleja en todo su esplendor funky. Otros aspectos destacados incluyen el ritmo medio de" Pure Cane ", el Motown-esque" Modern Jive , "y la extravagancia del saxofón" Country Girl ". La clave de la magia de Sugarman Three es la tensión que logran sacar de estas canciones, lo que hace que cada gloriosa descomposición parezca un lanzamiento genuino. Con alma, arrogante y divertida, Pure C ane Sugar es un fantástico lanzamiento de funk moderno que se adentra en los ritmos y bajos complicados del apogeo del género y regresa listo para bailar.
