Heavy Tapes No Cat
LP
£17.99
First action from Mike and Maya Bernstein’s (aka Religious Knives) own Heavy Tapes imprint in a while, presenting the debut album from this new NY outfit that features Calder and Caitlin of Excepter/Vizusa alongside the rhythm section from Sightings. They have the same muscular No Wave attack of Sightings, with a percussive bottom end that is as trance-inducing as contemporary Whitehouse, while factoring in the kind of hysterical free rock extrapolated from mis-readings of Harry Pussy/Beefheart/Royal Trux et al and turning up the dub-inflected violence of Damo-era Can. Both band’s histories are pretty apparent in the overall arc of the sonics but I like this a deal better than either. Edition of 500 copies, pro-printed sleeves.
