Public Relations Exercise - Demos |
Music like this should be government issue. Today, music has become so scripted: watching 'alternative' music television is the equivalent to me having each of my musical (and metaphorical) pubic hairs plucked individualy from my groin area by boring, drab indie/pop music such as Coldplay, Feeder, Thirteen Senses, etc. who play boring 'nice' music that the takes the listener nowhere.
Then, something like Public Relations Exercise turns up and is just so contrastingly fresh and exciting that it seems that the sounds omitted from their amplifiers may suffer from multiple personality disorder (I was going to say 'schizophrenia' there but I'm a psychology student who likes to think that he at least learnt one thing during his one year course...) it's just mindblowing that if this was government issue people wouldn't be able to comprehend it and every blonde, thick and 'chav'-y (work with me) would have their minds bent. With the, sometimes testing, screeches of vocalist 'Flats' - a man who accurately depicts the sound of someone being both crucified and circumcised at the same time - with music that's as indecisive as me and my psychology paper that I will be facing in about 3 hours... (god, I really should revise...) and that sounds like a mix of The Fall, The Mars Volta & Distophia. Do yourself a favour and head to their site for some mp3 downloadage, before the new Coldplay song gets played again. Craig Sharp |
