Memories are still fresh of seeing this lot at Covenanza a couple of weeks ago, where they stole the show to a certain extent. And being a little bit out of the clubbing loop these days, (something that I will be attending to in the coming months), they were a new name to me. They seem like a nice bunch of lads anyway. Maybe the odd hang up here and there, but who doesn’t have one or two themselves? Anyway, their live set was a blistering piece of rabble rousing acidic confrontation that more than fulfilled its purpose, and it’s good to be able to hear one of the tracks they played in a different context. One only, as it’s two versions of the same, and while both are great, you’ve got to go straight to the extended version, whose acidic pulse is constant and understated. The vocals, (no doubt fetish related, I mean what else could they be about?), sit on top and eloquently harmonise with the machines. There’s a little hook that underlays most of the track, a clunky riddim, which is addictive and has you anticipating further sonic permutations along a length that unwinds in some sort of infinity loop of longing; I mean when you’ve got a vocalist swanning around wearing a black fishnet t shirt and a pair of cycling shorts, what do you expect? Lovely stuff!
