New work from this group of "sound cubists" hailing from Olympia, Washington. We find ourselves in disjointed territories where everything is the opposite of everything else. Even from the band's name, the more attentive will notice a direct reference to "Trout Mask Replica" by the Captain, with the name of a gin.
The territories are the same where last year our living room ears cried with joy to Waits' masterpiece "Real Gone". It's about dismantling and reassembling the Blues model without following the instructions, practically like building a bazooka with the "Bromsta" Ikea assembly kit. This is music you drink once and never thirst again, miles away from the glitz and glamor of MTV. Here, they play the jew's harp like synthesizers, Arrington de Dionyso's voice (sax, jew's harp, and drawings) gargles, and the instruments scratch melodic surfaces. It's useless to talk about a particular track; "2012" is not an album but like having a carousel in your brain spinning to the rhythm of limp notes. It creates shapes with sounds and sounds with shapes. A word of advice: listen to it at least five times in a row, it will be a gym for your neurons.
