Scratch Came Scratch Saw Scratch Conquered (2008)

"Scratch Came, Scratch Saw, Scratch Conquered" the second album Perry has released in the span of two months, coming shortly after the Andrew W.K.-produced oddity Repentance should suit fans of Scratch-as-weirdo just fine. His role on this album is in a purely vocal capacity, and even if his voice is mostly preoccupied with croaking out stream-of-consciousness mutterings and aimless non-sequitirs, he still shoots off a few good lines: Opener "Having a Party" invokes "A skeleton from outer space/ With his Remington in his suitcase," and when he gets abstractly spiritual on tracks like "The Game Black" and "Saint Selassie", he seems to harbor a compellingly odd sort of mysticism. And there's still a mischievous spark in his ragged, aging voice, gentle and reserved as it frequently is." (pitchfork.com)
