Shrapnel - Sedan Crater LP

Shrapnel – “Turning the Knife”

Once again this quintet of drummers has made mockery of the eons-old convention of percussion technique, although many of the arthropod co-habitors of my lead-lined cave scuttled in what appeared to be coordinated dance to this number. The liminal brainwave scientists at Tenth Court Records have released this cut from an upcoming phonographic recording called Sedan Crater. Reminiscent of the year in which I was forced into underground seclusion; mutually-assured destruction; when payola moved from the Mob to major labels, and AM radio jackhammered guitars and bi-partite harmonies into the ears of mind-controlled youth. Luckily, this kind of thing would never happen again – let Shrapnel serve as your warning.
