Recent acquisition via HYPRK (David L.) and Freeloving Anarchists Records from Texas, continuing the tradition of finely distilled weirdness that comes from the cultural desolation of those types of places (see also everything culturcide, big boys, pain teens, on and on and on and on…..). Split CD, both bands using low-fi ethic and messy dissonance to great ends: Martian Church: Simple analog synth, casio like, with buried distorto evil vocals. Fans of early Cabaret Voltaire, Suicide, old school Skinny Puppy and all things Coil, Throbbing Gristle, NON and new/contemporary noisey electro/electroclash will not want to miss. 1) noisey electrosynth constant beat/tone with simple melody, buried vocs, ends with good 7 seconds silence left, careful 2) simple casio beat/rhythm feel, noisey distorto vocs 3) simple, no real beat, creepy vocs 4) plodding again, simple stuff here 5) no real beat, just a creepy searing synth and evil buried distorto vocs 6) dark, plodding, swirling, evil voc bursts in time with the subtle melody 7) cool, hollow echoey rhythm and subtle vocs, strange Elks: more of a noise rock, living room live approach even if the lack of big drum set doesn’t allow them to qualify 100%. Low fi stuff that pushes the use of tape loops and taping fun. Falsetto (fem?) vocals buried in here. Dissonant and fucked up guitar bass(?) and minimal drums, and a head injury or two. What more do you need? 8) driving drumless electro noise rock 9) layered tape madness, loops and noise, fucking awesome 10) noise rock with minimal drums, off key dissonance, clunky times, smacks of Capt Beefheart all the sudden? 11) guitar, minimal bass and vocs heavy, driving, with drums would be a wall of sound punky thing, slow breakdown midway then a complete devolution, nice 12) strummy off key guitar and bass/vocs, a café folk song gone very wrong, very low fi 13) slow waltzing alt country flare to this, a campfire song by cowboys who ate peyote, smoked jimson weed, and shot the heroin the drug kingpin in the huge SUV who drove by gave them, gratis | ||
