| CRACK: WAR (WE ARE ROCK) | |||
| Morbid dance music. Inspired as much by Titicut Follies as Black Sabbath, this is the death of disco (or metal - same thing, anyway). Crack: W.A.R. presents six tracks of haunted carnivals, socially retarded cabaret and the loneliness of being lost at sea. Drum machines and synths, sure, but Crack: W.A.R. is a band; innocence up front and something a little more impish in the back. King Riff, Obscuratron, Le Kim and L'Erin all create a cacophonous din of electro-smash complemented by L'Erin and Le Kim's schoolyard taunt vocals. Their sold-out self-released debut 12-inch split with Ann Arbor's Wolf Eyes gave only a slight indication of the misery to come. Silent Fantasy is their first release for Tigerbeat6 and fits in well with the work of the other inmates. |
Next time someone decides to take over the teen center or burn down the local theater, Crack:W.A.R. will be off to the side taking notes. Death Disco? Electro-chaos? Punktronica? Sure, call it whatever you want. |
