Shimmer

Noisy post-punk flavored tribal dissonant noise/art rock from Brooklyn. Female vocs are guttural, screamed, bass is total hollow dissonance, guitar is strange – using a pitch change effect at times. Crashing crazy. Elements of No New York, Teenaged Jesus and the Jerks. The bass reminds me exactly of a band from the past, DNA?, as is a lot of this as it plunders a lot of past noise elements. Glaxo Babies guitars. KK Rampage, Fire Engines. Pussy Galore. Early Sonic Youth, Red Krayola, Pere Ubu even. The girl singing indecipherable sounds as crazy as the one from Daisy Chainsaw. FCC clean.
