Pickup available at 1367 Greene Ave
Usually ready in 2-4 days
Jac Berrocal, David Fenech, and Vincent Epplay return with their first record since 2015s Antigravity (BLACKEST 011CD/LP). The title track is a louche but volatile art-rock panther-stalk... a cracked jazz ode on street hassle, pitched somewhere between Vince Taylor-in-exile and PiLs Metal Box (1979)... Berrocal on vocals, a slurring stream-of-consciousness that becomes a yowl of despair; drums loose and dub-delayed; Fenechs jagged guitar phrasing, and Epplays electronics set to flay. Ice Exposure" situates Befs mournful, muted trumpet in the eerie deep-freeze ambience that characterized Antigravity, and "Alienor En Aout" coaxes a gloomy poetry from affectless cold war radio broadcasts." - Blackest Ever Black.
