Album Review

Reviewed 2011-06-08
Distorto lo-fi noise. Hooks and melodies beneath monotone vocals, fuzz abuse, and primitive rhythms. Our Australian friends from Inverted Crux send us copies of old tapes and CDRs - really great stuff. Raw, dirty, muddy, angry, angular, and unabashedly animalistic. For fans of Liars, no wave, early 80s New York scene, Sonic Youth, This Heat, etc. No FCCs, the vocals are mostly buried anyway.

*1. Buzzing, throbbing warbling electronics and keyboards with tribal thump and messy drowning melodic vocals. (2:46)
2. 8 bit keys saturated in droning overtones of distortion fuzz. Second half is more ambient, plays around with sounds, loose feel. (4:34)
3. Chanting Liars sound, repetitive drumming. (1:56)
*4. Found sound experimental free percussion beneath noodly, drifty organ humming. (1:57)
5. Rhythmic heavy bass clipping with swirly dreamy distorto noise. (2:14)
6. Looped hypnotic guitar strum, screechy noise behind guitar (1:57)
*7. Little ominous organ refrain and menacing dark vocals. As pretty as noise gets. (1:57)
