SIOBHAN / MUD BRICK COUCH

"Split between Detroit’s Siobhan and Melbourne’s Mud Brick Couch.

Side A is Siobhan aka Travis Galloway (Traag, All Gone Records): Extended rhythms and crusty atmospherics loitering at mid-tempo. There’s some soulfulness here, but Siobhan injects it with gonzo adolescence — boneheaded loops smooshed together like some late-wave Spawn vs. Ghost Rider. For huffed-out goons with illustrated porn.

Side B is MBC aka Jarrod Zlatic (Fabulous Diamonds, Redundancy Tapes): Eerie pulses and radio transmissions stippled with drips and smears. MBC nabs that liminal space between house party ambience and modern compozishon, liquidating grooves and lending them a heady abstraction that offsets Siobhan’s scumtown bung."
