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.
