Oh good. I've got a 3" CD, 'Fags' by Drum Cunt. I was expecting vicious white noise & breakcore beats but instead i've got some seriously dark, dubby, atmospheric lo-fi electronica with big monging bass lines and all manner of panning and filtering going on. I'd love to hear this at 3am over a big soundsystem in a leaky warehouse. The second track keeps up the impressive work, slow and brooding with this cool rolling slo-dub percussion - it reminds me of post-'94 Faust being rutted by Matt Elliot & Kling Klang. 'Bonnie Tyler / Snow White' is more harsh & abrasive, resembling a stomping industrial deconstruction of the currently in-vogue wonky sound. 'My Head Feels Like A Chemist' then finishes you off, being comprised of the sludgy, distorted noise terror I initially feared the whole CD would consist of. It's still ace though AND Arch-Drude Copey is a fan!It contains Drums. Funny that. Distorted drums, jazzy drums, heavy electro drums, sampled drums…..there is bass as well. Dirty bass, bass that will make you shit yourself. There is no guitars and no fucking 80's dance production. This is loud fuck you music for people who love giving the middle finger to the tight jean generation. This is an essential purchase for anyone in this modern age who has any taste left.
"You need to hear their pounding concoction of twisted loops and samples mashed into tracks that sometimes sound kraut-like, sometimes heavily dubstep." says Stool Pigeon
Damn right, you do need to hear it.
"these druids really are cunts for the drums. Imagine the endlessly compulsive grooves of Excepter as filtered through early Destroy All Monsters conceptuals at a rave at a disused quarry and it’s raining" Julian Cope wrote that and he knows his fucking onions.
