ok ok i realise this is hanging off the coat tails of an article in todays guardian, (article : here) but it’s not often i follow links, watch youtube, and go : “whoa !.” these days.
yet, with the agitator i did just that.
something about the imagery, the simple but effective musical content, and lyrical passion just hits the spot.
of course there are plenty of ireallylovemusic reference points :
– black-white-red cover art : foetus
– layered vocals : foetus (the freebie mp3 for Heart Isn’t In It is very much like an early foetus 12″ single)
– fast cut flashing video and chanted sloganeering : age of chance
– rhythmic pounding : takes your pick.
in fact, i think it can all be summed up in one sentence : test department with tunes.
and, i for one am happy that someone is doing something a little different.
now, lets wait and see if the album lives up to the promise.
