Agent Side Grinder by Agent Side Grinder

In the absence of the almost certainly amazing Glasvegas single, i've landed myself with a mental 9 track album on Enfant Terrible, a Gothic electro imprint from the flatlands. However these Agent Side Grinder chaps are Swedish & have a rather unflattering picture of Berwaldhallen, a legendary symphony hall in their country on the sleeve of their self titled vinyl only LP. They make it look sinister, like a forboding police station or even a public lavvy. It's a fine juxtaposition to the music which is fairly industrial & repetitive with pure jackboot beats, grinding bass & angsty, dark vocals. This will surely appeal to the electro-noir crowd & fans of mid 80s doom rock also taking in NIN & Ministry devotees, It's all very plausible & authentic sounding but a tad claustrophobic for my tastes.

A contemporary and fresh sound that will appeal to fans of industrial, elektro, old style EBM and krautrock alike.

lp, 9 tracks, fold out insert, limited to 525 copies
