xNoBBQx / Bruce Russell. Split c40

Swarm minimalism’s an imaginary genus, but both of these sides invoke hive spirits from an ultra limited instrumental capital. Matt Earle and Nick Dan’s crashy blues and slowly volatile trench/crest punk is made up from guitar and drums but it sounds like the fly-tipping of an entire neighborhood’s broken cutlery on some credulous English garden. Ripping cassette-recorder solo two-thirds through, decides to drink and burble the mix for about a minute probably through incapacitated puzzlement? Not really Nigerian pop music, but if Jùjú means ‘something being thrown’ then these two fit the description. Flip has to be one of the wildest manifestations of Russell’s stereo guitar Qigong actions - bustling and pumpy heterodynes and crepitating silences conjured like paper wasps in some cyclone-like resonance. Exorcised but in no way removed from the premises. Pretty sure he’s a Warlock. Some of you may know him? Dungeon Taxis 11
