Taking the repetitive rhythmic drive of krautrock and marrying it to a percussive
Butthole Surfers
-style strain of acidic intensity,
Shit and Shine
have carved out a unique niche for themselves as one of the most unpredictable and -- occasionally -- outright unpleasant outfits in living memory. Like a robot
Can
-
Hawkwind
hybrid in a
Philip K. Dick
future, reassembling disco, abstract electronica, and noise rock into elegant new shapes, Shit and Shine furrow brows and fry synapses in equal measure. In spite of
54 Synth-Brass, 38 Metal Guitar, 65 Cathedral
boasting a leaner, sleeker attack than before -- partly informed by the band's 2013 and '14 releases on
Powell
's
Diagonal
(including DIAG 012CD/LP) -- the same sense of gleeful perversity is abundant, and the same twisted humor ingrained in these grotesque and hypnotic grooves. Where there is rock within the album, its essence is morphed and feverishly formulated into extraterrestrial aural landscapes, as on the opening "Electric Pony 2," which lurches forth like
Chrome
alchemically reassembling the disembodied spirit of
Marc Bolan
in a scrapyard trash compactor. Elsewhere, specters of smooth jazz fusion lock horns with the against-the-grain approach of
Aphex Twin
and circular necro-
Necks
grooves are beset by demons. And the abstract funk of "Love Your Hair -- Hope You Win!" locks a
Larry Graham
-style groove in a vortex of digital disorientation. Brandishing an intimidating psychic attack and equipped as ever with both nameless menace and savage wit, rarely has a band made sounding so wrong sound so right. CD includes two exclusive tracks: "Goat $Hit" and "Egg MM-Mufin/Pimp Different."
