A new 2014 reissue of this killer mutant hardcore album, originally self released by the band back in 2011, now available from German label Cut The Cord That... Records in a limited edition of five hundred copies.

After a clutch of smokin' 7"s, the Minnesota trio Condominium brings us their first full length of mutated hardcore, tearing through a brand of tweaked hardcore punk that's got this gnarled, malevolent vibe, at times echoing the wonky aggro power of Black Flag and the off-kilter thrash of Die Kruezen, but this has a much deeper weird streak, with odd song arrangements and a handful of detours into noisier experimental territory that can occasionally evoke the crazed formless violence of Harry Pussy, which is always a plus. The twangy guitar spits out some evil-sounding riffs, the drummer races through straightforward rocking into these chaotic bursts of blast beats and manic thrash, and the singer sounds like he's growling through a mouth full of mush through a broken microphone.

All of this is heard on the ferocious blast of chaotic hardcore on the opener "Life Is Amazing", followed by the noisier art-punk damage of "Teeth". Then there's the track titled "Why Be Something That You're Not", presumably a reference to the song of the same title from hardcore pioneers Negative Approach, but this is a strange Dadaist noise experiment that combines improvised guitar noise, hammer dulcimer, an out-of-tune violin, and random household objects banging together. It then kicks into another seething noisy punk assault with "I Don't Hate Any Of You" that wraps up the first side.

Over on the second half, the band engages in some shambling free-rock for a minute, then proceeds through more pounding fast paced hardcore that spins off into stretches where the band jams on the same riff over and over until they fade into nothing, then kick right back in a hyperfast grindy chaos and atonal guitar skronk, closing with the almost Dead C-meets-Flipper shamble and drawled, brain damaged singing on "An Arbitrary Choice Between Infinite Coexisting Realities" that finally coalesces into one last murderous punk assault.

Definitely for fans of the sort of weirdo hardcore coming out on Iron Lung, Parts Unknown and Fashionable Idiots.
