This NYC group's debut tape, following a pretty much under-the-radar demo in 2024, is such a neat bag of dirty tricks, treats and surprises, like a mix of things precision-engineered to fit my set of tastes and inclinations and others that shouldn't be quite as much up my alley, but they absolutely are here. Starting from a basis located on the weirder fringes of early eighties hardcore punk, their sound expands outward into the realm of 80s primary (proto-) noise rock influences á la Flipper, No Trend, Broken Talent and Drunks With Guns or, alternately, 2010s weird noise(-core) phenomena like Soupcans, Vulture Shit, Stinkhole or even quite recent acts of the Black Button, Agita, Total Revolt Of All Limbs or Opsec variety. And that's not all yet, the true magic ingredients and finishing touches here are those understated but unmistakable black metal influences and a slight oldschool sludge factor crashing into unexpectedly catchy foundations, melodic flourishes and overtones throughout their tunes making for a truly unique experience.
