Black Bug: Reflecting The Light
I’m not sure why I didn’t post a review of this album to this blog back when we got it into the radio station back in April, but it’s one of my favorite discoveries of the year. Noisy synth-punk. Hell yes. Surprised I wasn’t aware of this group before. Short songs, distorted vocals, lots of synths. Just as much influenced by Chrome as by minimal-synth. Great super-paranoid lyrics (“you scream and scream but no one hears ya”). “Mask” sounds a hell of a lot like Blank Dogs, who has been strangely quiet lately, so I don’t mind hearing more music like that (even if I haven’t listened to any of my Blank Dogs records in years). “Police Helicopter” and “Nightstick” are synth instrumentals with computer voices, and are as sinister and paranoid as you would expect. I can get down with this any day of the week.
