LYD)2 - Elefanta Poteket Bukentaur

If like me you sometimes wish to have your dusted fuzz rock built up around melodic structures youll find this little piece of pink vinyl very enjoyable. The a-side is the most intensely rocking one, starting out like an uncontrollable volcano of raw, pounding Dead C-esque noise before gradually keys are brought into the mix and distinctly slow things down to something very repetitive and hypnotic. To a large extent, that comes from the drum playing which is excellent throughout, very heavy and rhythmic but somehow seems more inspired by jazz and Krautrock than of classic rock. The b-side is more jam-like, combining powerful drumming with guitars and electronics into a tidal wave of sound where every instrument is clearly visible yet obviously a part of something much bigger. This is an impressive debut that comes recommended both to fans of throb rock, post-rock and of the heavier side of things Krautish. - Mats Gustafson (Broken Face).
