Glittering Insects - Glittering Insects

Ab­solute­ly fuck­ing bril­liant shit once again ar­riv­ing at our shores cour­tesy of To­tal Punk Records! Glit­ter­ing In­sects fea­ture mem­bers of GG King, Preda­tor, Wymyns Prysyn and Uni­form (the at­lanta group, not the NY in­dus­tri­al punk/-met­al duo) and of these, it bears the most sim­i­lar­i­ty to the lat­ter two groups with the melan­choly arrange­ments strong­ly echo­ing that dis­tinct Uni­form vibe. Over­all the com­bi­na­tion of grit­ty abra­sive tex­tures, the afore­men­tioned sense of melan­choly, a songcraft that comes across as sad and un­wieldy yet melod­ic and catchy at the same time, re­minds me a lot of aus­tralian noise-/indie rock gods Kitchen's Floor, the scuzzy post punk of City Yelps or, in its most catchy mo­ments, the noise pop of ear­ly Tree­house. An ex­cep­tion­al­ly im­mer­sive and epic ex­pe­ri­ence best tak­en in as a whole - a rare thing these days.

Body Maintenance - Beside You

The first LP of Melbourne's Body Main­te­nance ex­cites with ex­cel­lent post punk sounds of the catchy melod­ic kind, which won't ex­act­ly win any prices for orig­i­nal­i­ty but ex­cells in­stead thanks to some con­fi­dent song­writ­ing chops that nev­er fal­ter as well as a su­per dis­ci­plined per­for­mance, both things com­bin­ing in­to an ex­pe­ri­ence that feels sound­ly con­struct­ed at all times. Es­sen­tial lis­ten­ing for fans of shit á la The Es­tranged, Sieve­head, Crim­i­nal Code or Sched­ule 1.
