A killer new split disc from our buds at Lovepump United, showcasing two brave new forces in the field of mindmelting electro heaviosity and robotic prog.

Miracle Birth, a.k.a Jade Larsen of Spaceboy and Nausea Quartet, opens this disc with two rollicking sci-fi prog freakout jams, "Thirst For Hunger" and "Damn

You All I Told You So". Quirky, futuristic prog delivered in a spaced-out jumble of buzzing synthesizers, sequencers, and electronic instruments, and the

result is something akin to to a mutant hybrid of Zombi, Chromolodeon's 8-bit game soundtrack worship, and Ruins prog wipeout, with super weird detours like

the psychedelic marimbas that suddenly appear towards the end of the first song. Both of these jams are really freaking great, highlighted by Miracle Of

Birth's unique use of overmodulated vintage synth sounds, and I can't wait to hear more from this project. Child Abuse follows, with four songs of weird

synth/deathmetal/prog with stuttering beats and demonic vocals that are leagues beyond the demo stuff I first heard from these guys about a year ago. This

stuff is fkkn gone, a bombastic n' heavy but 100% fun noise-metal/grind assault filtered down through a stack of casio keyboards and tinny robot

melodies, a confounding fusion of The Locust and The Flying Luttenbachers and old school John Carpenter synths and an esoteric 70's prog rock outfit on a

sugar high.
