“Lizard” almost passes as a helium-voiced sexy little number, until the come-on of “I’d love to fuck you” has to share space with the admission “when you find she’s seventeen” deflates the balloon completely. It’s a good fit for Mockasin’s squeaky voice-which can twirl up to “Camille”-like heights without having to speed up the tape-but also for Dust, who can dip into Prince’s vibrato with conviction. The soggy pretzel logic of Pod-era Ween informs songs like opener “Relaxed Lizard,” most pointedly with that band’s obsession with early Prince. And for those tantalized/ perplexed at the thought at Mockasin’s creepy castrato set against the heavier, tweaked beats that Dust made as LA Priest will instead find him hewing much closer to the former’s sound. Hinted at seven years ago and many mixing delays later, Soft Hair finally appears.
