"
Chasing shellings as members of Vanishing Twin and Holy Tongue, not to mention copious amounts of solo bullets, the finely tuned pairing of percussionist/sound artist Valentina Magaletti and multi-instrumentalist Susumu Mukai take the Eastern US seaboard city of B-More as inspiration for a rugged stew of styles ranging from militant hip hop to post punk sluggers and shivery palpitations, all mottled with BBC world servuce blasts. It frames the duo at their loosest, rudest and most spooked out, hinging around irregular, hobbling grooves and goblin voices from the aether that blur the edges between bittersweet and rugged downstrokes similar to Burial’s ‘Bird’ score and the grubby types of outernational x post-punk and industrial inspirations mutated by Fritz Catlin (23 Skidoo) and Simon Crab (Bourbonese Qualk) as Big Daddy on Offen Music before them.
The duo vacillate between poignant, romantic strings and neck snap drums with almost illegible FM radio interjections on a first half increasingly prone to buckle into mired noise and scuzz, before the 2nd half lowers the tone to trunk-rattling bass and nithered, atmospheric dubbing and teeth chattering drum impulses that resolve with a ghostly, pugilistic and cinematic quality glazed with strings, sleigh bells and furtive first person gamer-esque sfx." – Boomkat
