FAT DAY - UNF! UNF! (LOAD 063)

THE STENCHIFIED CORPSE OF GERTY FARISH REANIMATED BY THEIR PARENT ART COLLECTIVE FAT DAY. AFTER AN AUSPICIOUS START WHERE THEY VISIT BLACK METAL TONALITY WITH A CASIO, THIS IS ACTUALLY A MORE INTERESTING RELEASE THAN THE ONE I SAT MYSELF DOWN AND EXPECTED TO HATE.

EXCEEDINGLY BRIEF SONG SHARDS THAT ARE ACTUALLY A BIT MORE IN THE ART-POP/WEIRD WORLD OF POST-DEVO MUSIC LIKE BRAINIAC AND SIX FINGER SATELLITE. THE FIDELITY AND APPROACH IS UP AND DOWN BUT IT ACTUALLY GIVES THIS RECORD A SENSE OF A JOURNEY: A CASIO RENDERING OF AN ELEGY ACTUALLY COMES ACROSS WEIRDLY EMOTIONAL AND SINCERE. BUT I DID GO TO A FUNERAL YESTERDAY SO MAYBE I'M SENSITIVE.

THE SENSE OF PLAY AND FUN THAT THE BAND WAS LEGENDARY FOR IN THE LIVE ARENA TRANSMITS WELL HERE. THE SENSE OF HUMOUR ISN'T REALLY MINE BUT THE ENERGY AND COMMITMENT PROPEL YOU THROUGH THE RECORD AND THE CHARM WINS OUT IN THE END.
