Comment: the first chords of the self-titled
issue of the trio of Ed Landis, Ross Martin, and Eric Hunter Bruno reveal that it is recorded
as a self-indulgent production. Indeed, it embarks on with hand clapping at Doctor Janikowski as if actors coming up
to the stage. Later on, the frantic canard of guitar induced sounds is ready to
penetrate through tiny slots of the listener`s brain. Indeed, the concept is
thoroughly experimental and mind-boggling – the reversed lo-fi guitars are up
to create invigorated background for buried vocal deliveries which at times are
variegated with drowsy ambient electronics and programmed beats. It might
remind of early releases of the Fall (for instance, Perverted By Language), The Residents, old school
industrial/post-punk acts like Cabaret Voltaire, Clock DVA. Especially Banana Compost Phase #4 used to run in
the vein of the last mentioned style. More profoundly, it is ticklingly nihilistic
and dada induced anti-pop piece. The final piece High Gain exploits shimmery guitar chords and explosive noise
dynamites to create tension and contrast inside the track throughout the
course. The issue is a part of the discography of a label with the uncanny name, Interplanetary Floral Star.
