HUMANBEAST - VENUS EJACULATES INTO THE BANQUET (LOAD 144)

WE ARE NOW IN 2013 AND LOAD ARE SORT OF RETURNING TO THEIR ROOTS A LITTLE. 143 AND 144 ARE PROVIDENCE GROUPS: ONE BRO-ISH AM REP SHIT AND THE OTHER ART SCHOOL ELECTRONICS. SHE SINGS AND I GUESS HE PRESSES KEYS AND MAKES SURE THE COMPUTER HAS A RELEVANT SOUNDCARD.


DESPITE THEIR NAME I HEAR NO EMILE ZOLA-ISH DETERMINIST NATURALIST CRITIQUE OF MAN'S EVENTUAL DEBASEMENT. INSTEAD WHAT WE HAVE SOMETHING THAT LANDS IN THE WORLD OF THE EROTIC AND SULTRY. THOUGH THERE ARE NOISE OUTBURSTS AND MOMENTS OF ANTIC PANIC, THIS IS MOSTLY SET AT SEX TEMPO AND REVELS IN FUCK MELODY AND RHYTHM. FOR A PROVIDENCE DUO THE FEEL IS MORE HAMBURG NIGHTCLUB.


I GUESS IT'S A BIT TOO DIRTY SOUNDING TO CRACK THE ACTUAL MAINSTREAM BUT I AM SURPRISED THIS DIDN'T BREAK THROUGH THE INDIE-DANCE WORLD. IT IS FAR MORE INTERESTING THAN HERCULES AND THEIR BASTARD LOVE AFFAIR OR ANYTHING ON DFA SINCE DELIA AND GAVIN TO BE QUITE FRANK. MAYBE IN SOME SENSES IT IS GENERIC GIRL AND GUY ELECTRO POP - HER VOICE ISN'T PARTICULARLY UNIQUE, HE DOESN'T WREST NEW SOUNDS FROM HIS MACHINES - BUT THEY DO ASSEMBLE SOMETHING GOOD.
