this sounds like what would happen if you put a random punk in a electro band and gave them all lsd and stuck them in a room,
from what ive read of the production of the album could have actually happened.
you can tell from listening to it that it was a really fun album to make.
strangely enough they released a single off this (atlas), to me any song from it would sound really strange on its own without any context for its complete weirdness, but the album as a whole is really enjoyable and easy to listen too. it sucks you in and makes you want to dance like a spazz (well did for me anyway)
there doest seem to be much in the way of lyrics that you can understand. it feels like to me they have used the vocals as just another instrument somewhat like what sigur ros did on the () album
some parts of the singing makes me think of early butthole surfers with all the vocal distortion and just plain trippyness(for lack of a better word)
brief moments of beautiful melody shine though the noise at points but they never let you as the listener get to comfortable
no idea seems to last more than 30 or so seconds on this whole album but i think that is one of things that makes it brilliant
it is perfect that they are on warp records i cant think of anywhere they would belong more than beside the likes of aphex twin and squarepusher
i would suggest it to any fan of good/strange music
