XL-FITS - The Hakata Slasher 7"
Highly recommended.
"A wild ride from Japan’s XL-FITS. First off: the drumming on this sounds like each piece of the kit is arranged in a different corner of someone’s bathroom, with the drummer (whose name is Mine Ecstasy) somersaulting and laughing maniacally as they sweep the legs of their bandmates. At moments these songs feel like they’re going to stick with some jerky CHAIN GANG “Son of Sam”style percussion or a riff that’s going to keep tumbling down the scale, but each of these hints are gone in an instant as you’re carried off to the next theme. Though the label points to the KBD comps as a reference points (not wrong), the guitar playing on the tide track reminds me a bit of My War (the A side, not the B side). It’s a dizzying and upsetting ride, a lot like a rickety old wooden roller coaster in that I felt compelled to get on and start it all over again immediately." (EW)
Nowhere to link to a tune but trust us, it's KILLER!
