Henge Beat

Featuring members of Eddy Current Suppression Ring and UV Race, the band known as Total Control originally came together due to a shared love of minimal and electronic-based punk music. Over the course of four 7" releases, their music ran the gamut of electronic post-punk, from dark new wave to jarring noise to austere cold wave. Their debut album, Henge Beat, was recorded and produced by guitarist Mikey Young (Eddy Current) in the Australian summer of 2011 and has recently been released on vinyl in the U.S. on the Iron Lung label—the band achieving an excellent cohesion of the sounds from each of their previous singles. Total Control contains just the right balance of abandon and discipline.
