A curious little beast, this cassette by some NY dude brought to us via Portland's Spared Flesh Records. Disjointed and fragmentary at times, yet rarely devoid of a catchy melody. There's certainly a bit of a no wave influence in there but most of the time i'd say there's a weird and chaotic transcontinental mashup at play here with clear echoes of early british post punk, specifically of Wire, Swell Maps, The Fall, Early Mekons… colliding with decidedly american folk and roots elements as well of random anomalies straight out of the 1980s cassette culture both sides of the pond. I guess admirers of Australia's Wireheads will also get a kick out of this and it appears the man in charge here has also had a hand in Hobocop, which makes perfect sense to me as well.
