next up is a deliriously moody track i've been meaning to post for some time, Pie IX from Montreal experimental prog/kraut rock four-piece Suuns off their brilliant debut album "Zeroes QC" (2010).
Pix IX is a seedy, unsettling, hallucinogenic, spacey et atmospheric track. singer Ben Shemie’s distinct vocals draw us in instantly, with their distorted, muffled, manic et childlike refrain, one can almost picture Shemie rocking back et forth in a straitjacket, his experimental, drawly delivery is reminiscent of Ade Blackburn {Clinic} et Thom Yorke.
a sparse, driving et gritty beat stomps away, punctuated with a clapping percussion loop, while a raspy industrial-sounding synth vibrates et drones away, mid-way in a screechy, feedback laden guitar riff rises et falls repeatedly, accentuated with a fat kick/snare beat et deep throbbing bassline, Shemie's spaced out vocals continue to drone away, the track closes with a haunting jangly surf guitar riff, which emerges from the darkness giving the track levity et a sense of release.
Pie IX would slot seamlessly into David Lynch's "Lost Highway".
