Comment: Mark
E. Smith and The Fall are being considered as true representatives of
the underground rock movement. Although The Blackpool, UK-based John
Crewdson-led project The Hirundu could be considered a doppelgänger
of the Manchester legends yet they have represented something even
more through since the end of the 80s. Stylistically they are more
diverse and musically more hoarse and firsthand. This was their one
of the first issues at all while they were being more guitar driven
sounding as a demented, fucked-up blues influenced rock and roll act,
the formula which was two decades earlier invented by Captain
Beefheart. Strumming (indeed, reflecting upon then strong jangle pop
influence – for instance, at I'll See You you could draw
comparisons with McCarthy) and at times light-hearted propulsive
guitars are set atop in the middle of buried singing and reversed
sonic effects and inferior yet somehow stimulating tape hisses. The
Blackpool-based combo's music consisting of four pieces is very
elegant and irresistible in its lo-fi tinged approach. It is a very
solid notch within their great legacy being issued under their own
Pitch And Putt Records.
