Gramma's Boyfriend - The Human Eye - VINYL LP

Delighting in contradiction, Structure is an ambitious LPthat approaches it's own impressive scope and aspiration with a tongue-in-cheek humor and a reflexive self-effacement that wonderfully reflects the personalities of it'screators. Influenced by Scott Walker's sole 80s ,Climate of Hunter and the works of the colorfield painterMark Rothko, it's a concept album that pokes fun of theidea of concept albums, exploring high-minded ideaswhile subverting them and applying a hyper-focused eyefor detail in the service of a series of clever misdirections.Tracks like opening single InchQuotationsInch see the bandat their freewheeling best, drawing from the persistentand building rhythms of the dance music tradition that haslong been one of the many elements of their sound, toconstruct a mesmerizing forest of sounds out of repeatingvocal samples, swooping synth lines and eventually cascading break beats. At the other end of the album's auditory spectrum, InchWhen You're AroundInch is an almost-saccharine nod at the band's more pop-oriented work to date.When taken together Structure paints a picture too vast to betaken in at once, but repeated listens reveal melodic subtleties, rhythmic minutiae, and lyrical repetition that allow thewhole to come into focus. Whether the lasting impression isconcrete or abstract will depend on the listener's perspective, but from any vantage point Structure is a thrillingly original and a first-class achievement in brutalist pop

Blazing hardcore thrash featuring members of EXTORTION, LACK OF INTEREST, & TO THE POINT and STOPPING POWER. An old school sounding record that instigates and annihilates. 21 songs in as many minutes. The reassurance of Power Violence has brought these respective band members together to create a time portal of thrash induced hardcore that won't recreate the wheel, but instead, maintains the crushing velocity of what birthed the movement in the first place.
