Words: Todd Jordan Recalling late 90’s Sonic Youth, when they went off on one and started waxing poetic over the sounds of overheating amplifier tubes, Red State is the sound of a band dramatising their thoughts in the most hypnotic manner possible. Barely audible vocals shimmer in and out of dense soundscapes, threatening to get so epic your heart may explode. Thankfully things settle back down before anyone gets hurt. That’s the beauty of this record. As anarchic as the tracks seem, consisting of sheet after sheer of harshly modulated feedback, with Gowns, you are in safe hands. They take you up to the edge of the shark pit scaring the bejesus out of you, but catch you just before you fall, revealing they only had rubber teeth all along. Everything is Fine. Don’t Worry. This
record will not break your CD player. |
