FUTURE BLONDES/INDIAN JEWELRY - Split
"Houston, Texas based INDIAN JEWELRY are on a roll. Last years Free Gold" album blew many minds and was the best document to that point of their mastery of the aural psychic-swirl. Their side-long contribution to this split EP highlights what they do best...combining uncanny songcraft with insistent, pulsing and throbbing layers of sound. With "Zing Zang" its as if they are leading a pied piper-like caravan through the countryside, picking up joyful followers along the way (zing) while sternly pointing out the hazards of following (zang). Its the sound of a band confidently striding off in their own direction, which is an all too rare thing these days.\r\nFellow Houstonians FUTURE BLONDES (Domokos of RUSTED SHUTs side project) occupy the "other side" of this record in more ways than one. Their "Heartless" is a relentless piece of dark, hypnotic electro-spuzz that isnt going to fill anyone with anything resembling hope for the human race. Not so much music made for the denizens of the dance floor but more like a soundtrack for the detritus left on the dance floor after everyone has gone home. Limited to 525 copies." - Dull Knife.\r\n
