GEISHA / TRACTOR  split  10" VINYL   (Super-Fi)   11.98
split IS CURRENTLY UNAVAILABLE FOR ORDER

SuperFi matches two blistering Bristol outfits on this 10" slab of black wax, showcasing some of the more ferocious avant noise-rock coming outta the UK

at the moment. You may recall GEISHA being jocked quite highly in our last webstore update, where their Hymns For The Living Dead was a featured

release...that CDEP's brutal but melodic wash of lacerating white-noise rock was truly exhilerating, and we were stoked to also get our hands on a small

amount of this split 10" that features the song "Blood Around The Mechanism" from GEISHA. "Mechanism" starts off with a laid back,jangly riff that reminds us

of CODEINE (if they were drunk), but doesnt stick around for long as the band takes off into a howling, bass heavy MELVINS-y noise-rock freakout that gets

noisier and noisier as the song progresses, layering more and more white noise on everything until the whole song becomes an atonal,formless smear of cymbal

crashes, screams, and looping noise, disentegrating into a bleary eyed, string scraping DEAD C-like free-rock jam that finally closes out in a squelchy

locked-groove of Merzbow-style whirr.

TRACTOR are new to us, but with a name like that, we expect heavy. "gHost" brings it, with noisy,droning feedback-rock, plodding and heavy and

NOISY. Starts off sorta like UNSANE if they mellowed out and tried their hands at some UNWOUND style post-rock, but then a gargantuan dirge/noise riff and

very pissed-off sounding vocals kick in,sending TRACTOR off into some sort of unholy GRAVITAR/MELVINS/early SWANS muck, a shitstorm of buzzing instrument

cables, minimal shouting, amp speakers ready to explode, and ferocious bass. Hell yeah.
