Our album of the week (30th July 2009)
...according to our Ant on Thu 30 Jul, 2009.
Oh Man the latest Shit and Shine record is totally awesome. From the moment I hit play I'm smashed over the head with some ugly, nasty overloaded distorted repetitive heavy rock music. 'Have you Really Thought About Your Presentation?' is a blistering opening track to say the least. It's nuts! It's ridiculous and I LOVE IT! I could quite happily leave the record there and I'd die a happy man BUT there are another 19 tracks of mayhem, weird samples, noise, feedback primal drum pounding. It sounds like a bunch of neanderthals getting wasted and making a pretty messed up noise record. There are some quite brutal and harsh moments on here with pretty much everything being in the red. Having said that there is a sense of control and not just total chaos. A lot of the rhythms are very precise and the drumming is pretty damn tight. Some of the album is so over the top it's almost cartoon-ish and you get a distinct sense that these guys really don't take things too seriously. It's totally absurd and I get the same joy and twisted comedy fun that I got from the Butthole Surfers way back. Man this my even be there best one yet!!!! CD and 2LP to follow on Riot Season and you need it in your life. '229 2299 Girls Against Shit' is mastered mighty loud so watch yer speakers!* Shit And Shine return with their fourth Riot Season album - following ’You’re Lucky To Have Friends Like Us’ (REPOSELP04), ’Jealous Of Shit And Shine’ (REPOSECD011) and last year’s acclaimed ’Cherry’ (REPOSECD017X/LP017) - after a link-up with the Load Records stable for their last release.
* Continuing in their usual Riot Season style, what we have on offer here is the bizarre, the puzzling and the downright groovy. The epic, drawn-out single-riff jams that make up their legendary live shows are replaced by their trademark off-the-wall lunacy, making for a fun-packed adventure akin to biking trips with friends, and the local mental as a child. ’229 2299 Girls Against Shit’ could be the soundtrack to that summer, the beating of rats with sticks, the shooting of girls with gat guns, swimming in the rancid cut and the discovering of dead dogs and maggots. Ah, those were the days my friend ...
