ALBUM OF THE WEEK!
STRING THEORY Anhedonia Consumers Research And Development
Label LP 9.99
Having made their debut appearance on one of Skam's infamous
Smak 12", String Theory arrive with their brilliant debut album. The
Consumers label, based jointly in the Californian and Ilinois musical
hotbeds, have really gone and done it with this one. Amongst all the
amazing music issuing forth, torrent like from the States at the
moment - Dabrye, Hefty, Geoff White, Joseph Cotton, Sutekh...we'd have
this sitting on top in the big canoe labelled ABSLOUTE CLASS,
effortlessly rafting the white water. Josh Davison and Nathan Tucker
with the opening, emotion laden chords of Multi just take away the
breath. The sounds are laden with immense feeling, imagine Casino
versus Japan jamming with Boards, the Bola man at the console, and
perhaps we're still nowhere near describing how crucially brilliant
this is. The scuttling beats of The Peel eschews the glitch and
instead we have a big sky of sound, opening above our heads, and of
course the strings, oh yes the strings. We Are Blowing Up should prove
a highly apt track title, its slightly detuned keys again carrying
that supremely warm childsplay melody, the beats are exubarent fresh,
rolling with the assurance of the gifted. Onto Side Two, That Girl Is
Blue Shifting just charms relentlessly, a chirpy rhythm which is the
kind of house but not house tempo Safety Scissors might conjure, but
without the cut up, again the melody line is king here. Hum it on the
bus, sing it to the streets, just great popular music, without the
parp. Dregs closes a truly wicked album, seams of purest sound and
compassionate warmth, and the anticipation...then the change up, a
rhythm of which Akufen would be proud, yet more electronic, more
generous with the bass than Marc Leclair and still those heavenly
synths. We suggest you support the Consumers in all their future
Research and Development projects, for this is an unmissable record
from a hugely exciting new perspective. Faultless.
