XBXRX: Wars

xbxrx:warsNot really my cup of tea, but still an interesting listen. Very charged, I read one review of the CD, well actually the reviewer concentrated more on the band name, and they called it Splatterrock. Now I’m not sure what that means but the image I get kind of suits. The XBXRX sound is impulsive, it charges in at something like 200bpm rattles around a bit smashing everything in sight and then kicks you in the arse before it slams the door shut, with the last picture hanging crashing to the floor. If you like it loud, angry and chaotic then get this. Or see a show, I read that they’re very interesting and verge on the “performance art” side of town :: XBXRX: Wars - Polyvinyl/Cargo.

MOUTHUS

Best of the recent Our Mouth stuff is the first Sullivan solo CD-R. Sullivan's comes under the name Eskimo King, and /Tooth-Shaped Migration/ is five thick, detailed chunks of sound spread over a quick 17 minutes. What I dig most about Sullivan is his wide-open outlook on what sounds are worth making. Mouthus may concoct a lot of deep, textured noise, but they also use acoustic guitar loops, dirgey metal-like stomps, polyrhtyhmic meditations, busted rock riffs, and tons more.

„Nein, nein, kein Soundtrack! Wir kombinieren nur die Stücke auf unseren Alben - wir schneiden erstmal alles auf Band mit, um dann, vielleicht Monate später, zu sagen: Oh, das hier passt ja thematisch zu diesem Stück und auch zu jenem. Oder: Dieses Stück würden zu jenen Anderen passen, wäre es nicht so grottenschlecht. Also: Trash it.” Brian Sullivan/HE Interview
