HEARTTHROB VS TROY PIERCE
HORSE NATION AMENDED

Monumental slab of incendiary interaction going off here as members of the Minus touring party divert their energies into sonic explosion instead of TVs out the window. Minus have started a series to deal with such collaborations and the first is a blinder. First, Pierce and Heartthrob hoist the original by speeding it up, adding a rolling bass pulse and rodent penis manipulations amidst the metallic whackings which keep time as the track builds a formidable head of steam. The beer-crate percussion even takes on a jazzy flavour and it’s great fun. Then Gaiser joins Heartthrob for a sewer-cruisjng take on Prince put through a minimal psycho-blender which is deep, atmosphere-loaded and filthily sexy with those whispery vocals. If this is what they get up to for on-the-road fun, I’m all for it!
