Excellent new single from this doomy garage-pop duo with aspects of the moodiest of the Flying Nun roster filtered through a UK Shadow Ring/Postcard/Factory aesthetic and a fug of F/X. B-side features a cover of The Cramps “Human Fly” that sounds closer to the Scientists than Lux and co. Edition of 600 copies.

Crashing in with the kind of overloaded electricity of the early Moslang-Guhl sides or even Aaron Dilloway’s tactile contact mic work, the new album from the duo of Pat Murano (NNCK/Deimus et al) and Mark Morgan (Sightings) is a classic of bloody-minded electronic minimalism. Together the duo work clanging repeat-cells of steel tone and marching men rhythms into a dizzying storm of metal-on-metal. As the tectonic klang starts to peak all sorts of phantom aural spectra take shape until it sounds like a spectral Borbetomagus advancing out of the fog with dark, arcing chords and horn tones that have alla the endless magisterial violence of a Penderecki composition. Spectacularly beautiful Industrial electronics at an avant/classical high. Edition of only 200 copies. Recommended.
