LUNG
Paralysis EP (Yellow Bike) Palmerston North's Lung bring the sound of Europe's industrial slagheaps to our own green and pleasant back yards. Here is their first ever seven inch vinyl release, four songs from the forthcoming album recorded in Stuttgart at the end of last year's European tour. 'Paralysis' opens dramatically with a guitar sound like a dentist's drill on stone and kicks in with supra-SPUD-bulldozer guitar riff and vocal spew.'Elvis-Arsehole' sounds like a peculiar-metal version of 'Teddy Bear's Picnic'. 'Mary's Mother' features that "alternative heavy metal" swarm-of-bees guitar sound and quite handsome singing from Dave White, 'Slaughterhouse' is a stately excursion into some kind of mental disaster zone — guitars soar and slide and feed back eerily in the distance; my favourite amongst four inventive tracks that bode well for Lung's album to come. If you like the sensation of having a nerve stretched and snipped without anaesthetic, this record's for you!
