Shellac – Futurist, The (Review)

Shellac

Futurist, The

Released by self-released


I played this once in a club alongside wrong-sounding drum and bass and it was entertaining, at least to me. It's definitely a pretty feral, bestial piece of music. I love the way it seems to turn your speakers into the drooling jaws of a rottweiler. It's also really detailed. The distortion hits upon that perfect balance of aggression and restraint. It sort of breaks out into Krautrock, Albini-style, towards the end. Heavy Metal, ja.
