experimentipop.
this is a lost gem.
hard to describe, but easy to describe:
all tracks are samey (but you wont mind), polyrhythmic, monotonous, spooky, feedback loops, dissonant, mal&fem vox in echo, found sounds...made into pretty little tracks that are almost songs/not songs. it's as if a no wave band decided to make something that sounded pleasant instead of jarring.
[note: formerly known as King Kong Ding Dong, and features members of A Sunny Day In Glasgow.]
MR. ESQ. SEZ: MEOW MEOW MEOW MEOW MEOW.
FCC CLEAN.
SOUNDS LIKE: A SUNNY DAY IN GLASGOW, STRANGE HOLIDAY, BARDO POND, ENO, NO WAVE, ET AL.
PLAY: ANY/ALL/RANDOMEOW/CATNIP?=CATNIP!
1.PURR-FECT: drill sounds? therimin? gives way to dreamy echoscape of strum&vox. Southeast Asia sounds: lotta clang and bang. but it's still pretty. [same m.o. for all tracks.]
2. PURR-FECT II: more hypnotic.
3. PURR-FECT II: islandy. trippy.
4. darker.
5. tripped out.
6. more tripped out.
7. PURR-FECT II: more psychey. drifts into...
8. PURR-FECT II: this. we're in Cambodia now...
9. PURR-FECT II:robotic to psych. almost Yo Le Tango sound.
10. slowly building...into pretty dischord...almost a song...not a song.
