Messy Jesse Fiesta

After the previous "Snauses & Mallards" 12" on Kit Clayton's Orthlorng Musork label, comes Blectum From Blechdom's first full length on Deluxe. A hyper mish-mash of sounds where hissy field recordings and vocal cut-up collage (a la Stock, Hausen & Walkman, V/VM, or Lucky Kitchen) segue into frenetic techno, electro breakbeats, & acid squelches (a la early Aphex Twin). Blectum from Blechdom's perverse, whimsical sensibility merges with skilled programming and composition, resulting in intriguingly fractured electronic pop with a fine sense of melody and dynamic techno rhythms. The opening "Sheet Rubble" shimmers with catchy percolating grooves, as does the multi-syncopated bleeps of "Crackopenstein" and the cool tech-house of "Detrecht Warping". Songs like the broken hearted "Part Of You" & the dreamy "La La La" showcase Kevin Blechdom's ultra sassy vocals, while "Shedspace" & "Porn Cob Wand" enter darker, more cerebral modes. Filled with re-occuring themes and sounds, "The Messy Jesse Fiesta" reads like the beautifully twisted, animated comic strip adorning the album cover, envisioning a world of Sea Slurpents, Toe-eating Snauses, Killer Bees, and Toilet Sipping Mallards.
