Guitar rock from local hero Moe! Staiano. It's descended from no wave and punk but is overall upbeat and even joking. Complex, high-precision playing with densely packed sounds (LOTS of madcap drums) and high-precision playing. Frequent horns or strings added, in choppy, faux-jazzy modes. Lyrics tend to be barked out and follow themes of self-deprication.
This band is the follow-up to Mute Socialite, a terrific post-punk instrumental band that Moe led circa 2008. They're in the KZSU library as well.
This stuff rocks. Wire Magazine actually made a crack about the album having no breathing room, no slow song to break the mood. If that sounds good to you, then by all means give this a listen!
1- Eerie intro to (2). Cool but not meant to stand on its own.
2- Bouncy/thumpy
3- Fast, pecking morse-code horns; rubbery bass. Rocking instrumental.
4- Insistent buzzing riffage, insane drums.
5- Aggressive mid/fast, slashing guitars. Diagram Brothers cover.
6- Busy gutiar/drums, chanted lyrics, environmental lyrics.
7- Blurry punk with trumpet. Snare drum gives it a relentless feel.
8- Gets bouncy and intense; cool guitar effects from Ava Mendoza
9- Crazed instrumental, lots of fast interlocking parts, an insane clockworks
10- Insistent, buzzy, thumping. Amy X. Neuburg song made raw & digging
11- Horn drones: Remix of (3) by Thomas DiMuzio (who was on our Day of Noise recently).
