Red hot is the correct phrasing here, phonetically blurred due to 1000mph dictation, this record is the most intense thing to come from Australia since Steve Irwin. Just under nine minutes long, yet sporting six tracks, vehement and as controlled as screamo mayhem gets at this pace, love like… are unbelievably addictive.
I could tell this record was special before I even listened to it, the ornate profundity of the song titles, the incredible faux western movie cover-art, and the sXe kids in the record shop telling me to buy it ‘it’s incredible, awesome man’ also gave me a helping hint. Then from the first screams of _‘she spat like a wildcat’ to the shouts of ‘no one can catch you, it’s death on the streets’, I knew I was right to pick it up. The record works because of the incredible combo of vocal extremism, one partially distinguishable the other less so…
Music wise it’s all down-tuned, technical pieces on guitar, breaks, incredibly fast and angular drumming and accordant bass. Think the **Plot to Blow up the Eiffel Tower, Saetia, Burnman, Jr Ewing, made up of a crew of former St Albans Kids, Us Versus Them and Slackjaw, you decide.
This record is beyond belief, and I can’t wait to see what more comes out on Building Records.
