Comment: Jarmo "Chopper" Nuutre has been active since the first half of 00`s in the Estonian (indie) music scene, i.e being the drummer in many groups. Obviously the most known is he used to be via as one half of doom/stoner/post-metal duo Talbot (having got appreciated outside the borders of Estonia as well), also being recently a member of the dream pop/shoegaze combo Jean Dean. However, Plastic Whore is his solo project, and Elite Elbow Patch Collection is his most accomplished solo publication. In comparison with Talbot, indeed, it might be a little bit subdued enterprise, though, which does not mean it is the restraint project a jot. EEPC is full of (sometimes even) very diverse stylistic angles showcasing itself as a melting pot of alternative rock/post-punk/punk funk, primitive electronic music, doom-ish string waves, grandeur heavy guitar riffs, hardcore snippets, and much more else. First of all, my favorite track is Bogus Charlie which rushes out as a homage to the Fall, more concretely being filled in with a dialogue between synergical bass guitar crests and a nihilistically primitive drum section and those mumbling vocal effects and mere yet sufficient electronics. On the other side, the exertions on infused guitar layers and some funky bass developments do resemble Sonic Youth and Talking Heads, respectively. Indeed, regarding the Estonian scene it is another mesmerizing album after Mirabilia`s Sümpaatiline Õudus EP during this year so far.
