Super brief but high quality "album" from Philly spazztoid blasters An Albatross is now available from Crucial Blast. Uh, better late than never, and if you're into the new wave of art-damaged grindcore that's been ripping shit as of late (Genghis Tron, Daughters, Triumph Of Gnomes, The Locust, etc), well, these guys are tops. Just over 11 minutes in length, An Albatross shred through 10 blasts of catchy as fuck, super spastic and caustic noise-punk mashed with apocalyptic hardcore/grind colliding over the band's signature carnival/Italian prog rock style keyboards. Due to the heavy presence of those freaked out keys, we remmeber AA being tagged as a Locust knock off when this originally came out, but we think they're onto their own thing. Add to that all sorts of weird melodies, dogs barking and growling, and other fucked up sound loops and tape crud and you get a fucking KILLER disc of sci-fi dance thrash that demands repeat spins. Eat Lightning Shit Thunder also has some enhanced CD-ROM live videos too, which is sweet. These guys RIP IT live, as anyone who has witnessed them will tell you. The Crucial Blast gang caught 'em on tour with Melt Banana in 2005 and we thought our heads were going to come clean off.
