Cardinal Fuzz (UK) and Feeding Tube Records (USA) are proud to announce the release of Nitro Cosmetic's self-titled LP. Nitro Cosmetic are Milo Smee and Demian Castellanos -- Milo is an electronic music producer for nearly 20 years, and the main drive behind several electronic dance music projects, and has released music as Kruton and Binary Chaffinch on Dissident, D.C Recordings, and I'm a Cliche. He is also one of the founders/brains behind the unique doom disco ensemble Chrome Hoof. Demian Castellanos is best known as the man behind The Oscillation as well as Autotelia and BOOZE (among many others) but it was in BOOZE that both Demian and Milo first wrote and played together. Across ten tracks Nitro Cosmetic concoct a heady mix of pulverizing Beefheart/Devo-esque jagged ferocity coupled with the driving heavy electronics that is alternately mammoth and meditative. The music rushes forth -- a punk noir dissonance that conjures up a collision of Siouxsie and the Banshees at their most uncompromising and then cross pollinated with the acid house scene of the late eighties. The rampaging opening track "Negative Inversion" has a Teutonic, mechanized, nihilistic charge that leads you into a sonic black hole, it is a brutal mix that is uncompromisingly harsh and metallic (think Chrome). Each track feels like a sonic rush layered with a wall of sound approach, combining kinetic and jagged grooves, flashing and chaotic as the psychedelic soundscapes of chaos that has been created lead you sinking into the furthest and darkest reaches of the human psyche. By the time "Pulsed Detonation" lands with its fusion of pulsating, repetitive oppressive beats landing like a jack hammer to the skull your third eye will be ready to pop out. Nitro Cosmetic is avant-garde and experimental -- not a single note, sample or headache-inducing drum hit is out of place, the amount of layers that unfold with each listen is incredible. So please tune in and turn onto Nitro Cosmetic.
