For the follow-up to their excellent 2023 EP Feed The Clones Pt. 1 – which has been their first record to fully realize their potential IMO – the Oakland group can’t be bothered to tweak their specific formula a whole lot, just as the “part 2” designation would already suggest. That’s fine with me ‘cos there wasn’t anything broken with their sound to begin with and much of the song material collected on here is top notch shit once again – even though, admittedly, this thing sometimes feels more like an EP’s worth of hits wedged inbetween a good deal of more sluggish, abstract, atmospheric tunes this time around, much of which i’m tempted to classify as glorified interlude material. Nonetheless, this is yet another essential listen for connoisseurs of demented, Spits-flavoured horror-/garage-/synth punk fodder.
