Razorlegs: Daragada LP
Noise-rock duo Razorlegs make a racket with an arsenal of guitars, drums, oscillators, keyboards, and other things that make loud sounds. The first side of
this LP focuses on shorter bursts of ideas, with most tracks lasting a minute or two before conking out. Starting with the feedback-rattled onslaught of “Parsifal”, these tracks are densely packed, chaotic barriers of energy. “Irrevo Storm” is partially filled with sounds playing backwards along with dinky-sounding toy instruments. The slower, less noisy “The Rhino” also has some more intimate, handheld objects being played, as well as more of a bass groove. “Ding Dongin'” is the album’s first longer track, and after starting out hobbling and struggling to keep it together, the oscillators and rhythm section manage to reach some sort of union and it all rockets forward together. “Belmondo Cane” is more of a steady rhythm and acid rock guitar solo covered in smoldering distortion. The second side of the record, apart from a short interlude, is just two lengthy jams, with “KG Maggot” being a manic yet focused wreck which stops abruptly at 11 minutes, and the shaker-accompanied “Public Image Mutilated” being shaggy, jittery, and still loosely danceable.
