New limited self-released studio album from the Markers duo of Elisa Ambrogio and Pete Nolan. For me, this one blows away their recent Drag City album, continuing that wild, psychedelic Japanese underground sound of the past few CD-Rs. There are epic, beautiful, fuzz and F/X-soaked instrumentals that ride the slipstream between Bardo Pond and Overhang Party, weird dub/punk tracks that orbit the whole Slits/PIL take on delay-damaged guitar/vocal narcosis and expansive, psychedelic takes on the early Patti/Kaye jams. Dunno how they do it, but this duo side is actually their biggest 'sounding' release to date, with a choice use of F/X and raggedy-ass guitar textures pushing the whole thing into a more beautiful and genuinely affecting zone than anything that has come before. Pretty much the perfect balance of guitar bombast and up-tight street hassle style. Comes in the usual screened envelopes. Highly recommended.
