The newest three minutes of Snarewaves noise may be the first time we witness some cautious tweaking of their winning fuzz punk formula, insofar as the first three tracks not only slow things down just a notch but also see them de-cluttering their sonics just enough to make the underlying toolset almost discernable, like, for the first time i’m like 80% confident that we’re hearing an actual guitar here rather than (as i previously suspected) oldschool bit-crushed samples and the good news is that their tunes are more capable than ever of carrying that shit along even when forced through somewhat less of a sonic meatgrinder, slightly less reliant on the obscuring and flattering qualities of that super-crunchy aesthetic, though it certainly helps nonetheless.
