The Sacto Smile sounds like it was recorded at a sound check by someone standing next to the loudspeaker on a cellphone, the music keeps phasing out, clipping, distorting into all kinds of fuzzy/glitchy electro-noise-feedback! this is a good thing!!!
Hill unleashes a maelstrom of torrential beats, they obliterate everything in their path like an atomic bomb, leaving a devastating trail of destruction in its wake, his vocals which are drowning in distortion et reverb explode heads like in David Cronenberg's Scanner, the guitars sound like electric chainsaws running amok in the mosh pit, chopping peoples feet off. this is not for the faint-hearted! there is something cathartic about listening to this track though, perhaps you are just thankful having made it out alive, et being able to tell the tale, not that anyone will believe you.
i feel like this is a track best appreciated when experienced live, we need to see Zach going apeshit on the drums, but the next best thing is experiencing it through the awesome music video made by Sean Stout et Zach Hill, it is like watching a Harmony Korine video while your brain is exploding from a cranial aneurysm!
this is music to set your alarm to, a nice refreshing wake up call! this is morning maniac music {or afternoon maniac music if you sleep late}! you'll be full of energy et angst for the rest of the day!
