Slashing Cousin - Fallen Gods

[BUNKUM]

This sounds great from the description on Bleep, not listened to any samples yet.

 

 

Blurb from Bleep...

 

Skam continue to show they are at the top of their game with Fallen Gods, a hyper-speed journey through fractured acid 'n' breaks tronica' from new face on the block Slashing Cousin. Shrouded in absolutely sterling artwork featuring a godlike figure donning the sunnys and going full flow in early 90's rave tackle Slashing Cousin showcases an album of tracks that audibly hark back to the early 00's Skam sound but with an updated sound schedule with its feet firmly rooted in the future. Opener Welcome Home is a full-throttle in head first mixture of post-dialup electronica giving a clear nod to R Plus 7 OPN before rollin' jungle breaks break up the serenity. Ascend goes Gescom via Black Dog with soaring synth lines and ever evolving drums keep things fast paced while Electro F_ck touches on a darker strain of tough almost gabba strength techno. 1404 takes on a more hip-hop informed sound while Midnight Resistance returns to the hardcore kicks before the backdrop of synths glide through and swallow the track's spine whole. The rest of the LP follows in similar veins; crushing electro broken breaks & industrial strength acid - basically this is absolutely classic Skam in the making and should be checked immediately by anyone into Caustic Window, the Doubtful Guest & VHS Head.

Whoever wrote that blurb needs firing.

 

as someone who's had to write one sheets and shit like that all i can say is no one enjoys writing that shit. except maybe the people Bill Hicks thinks should go kill themselves.

 

anyway... just downloaded. loading on the ipod for long-ass-flight. nice to have something new to listen to.

[Hi Guys]

really sounds like Anodyne to me in a lot of areas.

[danshoebridge]

Really enjoying this release - skam are coming up with the goods quite a bit recently.

Could well be anodyne from the sound of it, reminds me a bit of brothomstates in places too but unlikely as he's pretty much retired I guess.

Very good release whoever it is.

Does sound a bit like Anodyne. That first track is amazing. Ordered it right away.

VHS Head mentioned this in his Twitter feed.

 

There are some similarities in their style.
