Listening to Blastoids‘ ”Human Bells” is a bit like seeing your friend at a costume party. You know it is them, yet they have altered their appearance in a way that causes you to do a double take. Although “Trash Mountain“ was recorded at the same time as “Megachurch”, it is worlds away from the blissful, bordering on bubbly output I came to associate Blastoids with. The electronic elements have not disappeared, instead they found a fuller sound that can be extremely jarring and noisy. Yum. They shout and scream, whilst distorted ice cream truck-like jingles/8bit noises are scattered throughout. As if they are mutating to sludge in the scorching sun and are completely thrilled about it.
Cop Trash Mountain at Fiftypop* or bandcamp.
