Comment: Mhenwhar Huws is a quarter from Glasgow, Scotland who perform both acoustically and amplified. Body Control is their first brand new album though having released a couple of live recording issues before. Given that the quartet employ a viola and violin beside electronics, double bass, and the percussion someone may expect to stumble upon Faust and Tony Conrad`s frantically iterative violin-based collaboration revisited. Nope, it is a bit different case, it seems to be quite agro-nutrient (some exceptions of noisy whiffs, though) in a restrained handling of their musical gear. As if being played in a local bar for a panic-struck audience who are certainly about to leave the locus soon. For sure, it is not about pub rock in any cases and some inveterate drunkards would in a deranged state of mind think of police cars to arrive at. Even if Steven Anderson starts to sing at one and only Mhenwhar Huws it is even more unbearable on an uneasy mode of singing and convoluted drones nearby. In general, the 9-notch outing seems to be fed into an electro-acoustic distillery which mostly is about processing the sound and at a time will come to a churned-up fruition (the above mentioned noisy outbursts, especially at Static Contact and oblique drones). I like it.
