Bulbs/ Wobbly
Divorce Series #7

This record left our Mingus feeling happy.

Bulbs/Wobbly: Tiny Tongue/Imagos (Ache) Seventh in Ache's divorce 7" series takes on a clash of hillbilly/bluegrass type acoustic strings and sloppy hip hop beats with acid fried vocals that wouldn't be out of place on a Butthole Surfers or the UK's much overlooked and underrated Wevie Stonder. Our Brian's got a hangover so you can imagine what the frayed attitude, flayed keys and twisted atmospherics are doing to his head. Fourth single of the week contender, and I've not heard the other side yet. Bulbs, mangle a mixture of fuzzy drone and crawling, scattering insect type textures that build into a percussive-dubwise thrum. Like an exercise in tension without the release-then the locked groove kicks in. Heap good!

What their label says...

The seventh installment in the DIV/ORCE series, a split 7" series devoted to transcending the trivial boundaries of genre, pairs up two Bay Area acts.
Wobbly, a San Franciscan with a vigorous back catalog, including releases  on Tigerbeat6, and collaborations with MATMOS. His track, Tiny Tongue,
features guest vocals by Kevy B (AKA Kevin Blechdom) and, as a first in the series, guest instrumentation by his 7” partners, BULBS. It’s a wiggly
road, teeming with wet noodle guitar waver, elastic drums, and the type of vocal manipulation that evokes DAT POLITICS references; a beautifully dizzy  track. Bulbs, a two piece of live-processed guitar and drums (although you’d never guess it), assemble a marvelously composed mélange of harmonious
static. The track lazily transitions from various degrees of dynamics, eventually locking into a rhythm led by ghost drums.
