Vert: Some Beans & An Octopus

VertOff-beat and sort of fucked up Pop songs with a mid-range British accent. It sounds like the music is made mostly on computers, sythesizers and samplers. An almost dancable beat backs most of the songs, layered with humor that isn't particularly funny but fits well with the sense of humor put into sampling and melodies. It might remind me of Pulp if the sexiness was replaced with a quirky disinterest and the dancability was replaced with more of a junk-yard-circus-feeling sample world and the energetic attitude was replaced with a weird old man who makes gadgets in the garage. There are several strange ballad-type numbers which break up the jittery faster ones. It's what the Postal Service would sound like if they weren't sappy, poor word-smiths and sucky. I think this has potential. :: Vert: Some Beans & An Octopus - Sonig/A-Musik

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
