I hated this round of
listening. That's blunt, and feels mean, but I hated it so much.
There was a hint going
in. The home page has a strobe-y triple GIF
of Kelly Kapowski from "Saved By the Bell", with twice as many
Kellys (still moving, but not as much) in the background. I have some nostalgia
for the show, and I like Tiffani Thiessen - with or without the Amber - but the
page was hard to look at. After hurting my eyes, it was no surprise he would
hurt my ears.
If there were less of
it, I could have tolerated it better, but there was so much. There was
occasional organization into an album, but still with many, many unaffiliated
tracks and all jarring and discordant. And long! There were fifteen-minute
tracks!
I felt bad for last
week's review of Culture Code, because even though the listening was pleasant
nothing stood out, but I forgot how important pleasant was. My dog kept leaving
the room. I don't think that's happened since M-83. (And they were just boring;
this actually set my nerves on edge.)
So, really, I did not
like this band, and I feel bad because I could probably enjoy the person behind
it, but I cannot enjoy or recommend this music.
But if you are into
industrial or art noise or something, you might like it. If you do,
congratulations because it just goes on and on.
