One review hails Hangedup’s Clatter for Control (Constellation, 2005) as a ferocious, minimalist onslaught from a Montreal duo of drums and viola. References to Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Michael Nyman, Glenn Branca, and John Cale frame its blend of chamber tension and noise surges. The write-up emphasizes violent percussive drive, blazing viola lines, and tightly managed chaos.
