Street Horrsing

Insound Staff Pick - 2008! When they began playing together in late 2004, Andrew Hung and Benjamin John Power employed their cute arsenal of vintage Casios, toy microphones, FX Pedals and found percussion in the service of brain-scouring noise. Three years of increasingly assured live dates have seen the duo hone their compositional skills to a hypnotic effect, moving away from abrasive abstraction towards a carefully plotted, widescreen euphoria.

Recorded with Mogwai's John Cummings and Part Chip's Tim Cedar, then mastered by Shellac's Bob Weston, Street Horrsing is a six-track, 50-minute mélange of irredescent synts, psychedelic drone, distorted vocals and tribal rhythm, peaking with the deftly layered counter melodies and blissed-out propulsion of the epic single "Bright Tomorrow". - Underground
