Here we've got a fairly immense split 12" between Foot Village (their 7" was reviewed by Antnee this week) and Black Pus. The Foot Village side starts off with demented voices talking about food until a big load of trashy noise kicks in that Phil reckons is like every train in the world running over his head all at once. He's a sensitive soul, that one. Basically it's just a massive shit off televised instrumenthammerthon like someone's sampled a couple of seconds of Shit and Shine at their most manic and repeated it over and over. Ace in other words. They do have a shorter track that's more in the vein of that 7", dual male-female vocals scrapping it out over trashcan tribal drum clattering. Black Pus is B-Brian Chippendale (Rescue Ranger) from Lightning Bolt, I've heard a couple of his CDR jobs in this guise and they were both quite tidy. This doesn't let the side down at all, the apple hasn't fallen that far from the tree as it does sound like a more dirgey and repetitive of his main noisemongers.. It sounds like DJ Scotch Egg is there too but they're fucking with his amp so you can only hear him occasionally. This is packaged in quite remarkable fashion, inside a plastic sleeve the record is held inside a massive folded up page from a nature book with one side screen printed with the artwork. Wowsers!

Including the tracks from their split cassette released last year on DBA, this 12" adds 1 Foot Village bonus track and 2 Black Pus bonus tracks. This music is raw, distorted, and totally fucked up drum rock. Each 12" includes a 16" x 22" poster that is a full color animal photo with art by Brian Chippendale screened on top. Brian is the dude behind Black Pus and he is the drummer of Lightning Bolt. This release is all about drums being punk as fuck. Edition of 300. Co-released with Deathbomb Arc.
