Tropical Depression by No More Fiction Tapes
NMF 002
REVIEW: Maximum Rocknroll, No. 349 (June 2012)
Playing crazy shit that is propulsive and stops time in a weird way... Like NO TREND but more fucked up! Makes you nervous listening to it, weird FLIPPER guitars but then the rhythm is sort of circus plod in places, like I said this is a disconcerting listen. I mean the bass is veering into END RESULT territory and it's giving me a nervous twitch. Songs taking down the post- Katrina landscape, the forgotten dead, the celebrity guest appearances, the attempts to make it into a tourist bus tour experience whilst the locals conveniently evaporate. This is one of those things where it's hard to tell if it's genius or terrible, I think it's both!? It's really uncomfortable and repetitive, but sort of powerful. (Layla)
