Holy christ on a fuck!!!! More garage rock!!!! It's so garage in here I'm fully expecting to see Phil Mitchell greased up and mending an old banger. I quite liked this record though. 'Do the Mental Twist' is by a band called Myelin Sheaths and its female vocal driven punk all the way fucker! My fave track on this lasts about 46 secs and its called 'I Don't Wanna Have An Operation', its like being slapped with a fistful of syringes by Lydia Lunch. *Interesting fact-Sharks use a gland called the Ampullae of Lorenzini to pick up and register electromagnetic impulses in water in order to hunt and catch prey. Woah...!Yet another Canadian entry in our new batch, Lethbridge (about 100 miles south of Calgary), Alberta's Myelin Sheaths have boldly thrust themselves forward and erupt here with an incredibly powerful debut 7" EP featuring blistering production that jumps out of the grooves, and a wall of noise/pop vocals that sends chills down your spine and raises all hairs unshaven. As each song contained within offers up a thundering blast of icy guitars and pulse-pounding rhythms, each more intense than the last, Myelin Sheaths have found a perfect platform to desecrate the chill and melt the frozen wilderness around them. The endlessly reverberated dual male/female vocals blend together on the b-side's 'Drugstore Pharmacy' so well that you can feel the sky open up and suck you straight into heaven, as it washes away the troubles clouding your weary consciousness. Like if someone plugged the entire C86 sound into a fried-out supergenerator, Myelin Sheaths have the potential to skyrocket straight to the top of your list of new favorites. Look for another knockout single on Bachelor, and a track on the new Yeti Magazine CD, too. Recommended if you like: Shop Assistants, Black Tambourine, Jesus & Mary Chain, Dum Dum Girls, Primitives
