This experimental duo from Bristol has been under my radar ever since releasing the amazing song and video for "Bright Tomorrow", first posted here last December, so it's really nice to see that their debut album, out now, is getting the ecstatic appraisal it deserves. In other words, "Street Horrrsing" is 50 minutes of mind-blowing tracks where you can identify circular guitar drones full of reverb, pastoral organs, pulsating synths, static noise, paradisiac sounds, tribal percussions, distorted voices and maniac screamings. But the touch of genius comes from the fact that all these apparently anthagonic elements blend so well into each other, building involving and hypnotic tracks where you can easily travel from placid atmospheres into hellish nightmares and sometimes even experience these two poles at the same time. True, nothing in here is as immediate as "Bright Tomorrow" (here with an even more powerful extended version), but that doesn't make it any less original and out-of-this-world. Fuck Buttons? More like fucking our brains out. (8/10)
