Red vinyl repress.
Sarcasm
's final offering is the much-needed shot in the arm you don't even have to queue for. Sonically their six-track EP is a potent mix of the ignorant anarcho clatter and arch post(-graduate) punk you already love them for, but moreso. Picture
UK Decay
squatting the Barbican. Still eschewing distortion for a truly inspired use of phase, the cavernous production (another
Falco
joint) will leave you staring at a city trader until he switches carriages. Whether it's echo-laden pronouncements on our worst instincts for techno addiction ("Digital Colony") or odes to modernist artists
Paul Nash
("Marsh Personage") each track is as desperate as it is restrained by the same conditions. Heavily reminiscent of
Fallout
and the more cerebral end of
UK82
, mercilessly taut and lyrically about as obtuse as you'd hope from punk songs about rare varieties of lichen. Some guy once said something about the need for pessimism of the intellect and optimism of the will in abject times, and this band amply proved the evergreen joy to be had in being a smart arse. Bury
Creeping Life
under the rubble of the A3030 at Stonehenge when they start tunneling, because this is one for the well-groomed future druids. Justified and ancient,
Creeping Life
absolutely goes. Blue vinyl; edition of 350.
