GALL + TOOTH DECAY – Collaboration 7″

Description

This is cool! Not often enough do the worlds of hardcore punk and experimental music meet, and when they do it’s usually not massively successful. Merzbow has a kinda 50% hit rate on his collabs for example. This one’s getting a similar ratio, modular synth tones meeting primitive hardcore blasts. Sometimes it comes together beautifully, sometimes it sounds shoe-horned in a bit. The recording quality sometimes detracts but it’s a noble experiment. Nice die-cut packaging too. If they spent a bit more studio time and did a full album I reckon this would flesh out really well.
