Messthetics #108


(www.hyped2death.com) Man I get pumped every time I get a new volume of these crazy collections of British pre-post punk, low budget, indie 45/cassette underground magic. There’s too many great things on here to celebrate: the Poison Girls’ gorilla grunt singing; the Objeks hypnotic spare music that is clearly minimal by necessity, not choice; April and the Fools being as good as anything that was a hit by anybody; Attic not being able to decide wether to be no-fi prog or minimal pop punk; and the Lillettes managing to make a keyboard sound like an 8-year old practicing for his accordion lesson. Plus there’s videos mp3s, amazing reproductions of the cover art and more! I love Messthetics and I hope they make messes forever!
