RHYTHM CONVERT

The label owned by Marco Bailey, Redhead and Mr Hades stonks into its sixth release. Tom’s foursome all build their chaotic sonic skyscrapers on percolating beds of tribal whoopee. The title cut boasts a massive squelch riff over its fat gallop with a touch of hooverisation and mad drop for the perverts. ‘R47’ and ‘Creatures’ both whack the goat-skin buttocks with robotic aplomb, favouring stabs over riffs and locomotive momentum. The pattering of little bongos dominates the closing ‘Freezer’ with the addition of large bass drone and unexpected drop action. Heads-down frenzy all round.
