Plastic Crimewave Syndicate
returns with one collective foot in overdriven space-biker scuzz rock, but the other bigfoot kicking upward into new galaxies of synth punk, no-prog, and freek funk. Yes, the new PCWS LP,
Tales From the Golden Skull
, GROOVES -- but from the perspective of the Japan n' Kraut/Eurorock undergrounds, coated in some nasty Windy City grime. Aided by the Chicago
Cosmonaut Couriers Crew
, ala famed renaissance man
Mac Blackout
(synths/horns/electronics),
Przemyslaw Krys Drazek
(trumpet) of longtime zone-jammers
Drazek Fuscaldo/Mako Sica
,
Will MacLean
on Moog keytar, plus the oldest-school synthlord
Bil Vermette
, who's been modulating since the '70s.
Tales From the Golden Skull
is a near-concept LP that looks back at fallen friends and collaborators, and then into the unwritten golden future (as PCW himself hit the golden 50). The sonic journey dips into dark textural valleys, and chugging riffs rising to the fiery heavens, as the thundering-but-subtle rhythm section of
Jose "Beast but Best" Bernal
and
Rob "Dead Feathers" Rodak
know when to crash and when to burn (one). Sir PCW lays down his trademark big muff-blastage and echo-cries, to channel the despair and feral bark of the mighty
Vega/Hammill/Iggy/Dickie P/Haino/Mojo-Risin/Mizutani
, but also knows when to shut up for some layered instrumental
Embryo/Harvester/Fausty
trance rock and dabbed/dubbed out "not-quite-shoegazin" calmness in the eye of the Ur-storm. This might be the most expansive, detailed yet furious PCWS LP yet, recorded at Rec Room studios with
Eric Block
. So strap the headphones on and absorb the tales of this spaced ritual-rock opus.
