Shit & Shine - 54 Synth Brass 38 Metal Guitar 65 Cathedral (CD) | Mint (M) Mint (M)

“ ...psychedelic experiences as bowel-shakingly visceral as they are disorientating.” The Wire “ ...a work of near genius.” The Quietus “ ...it’s grungy, dungeondwelling electronic mayhem, and at the same time, almost vintage, b-boy electro.” Fact Magazine rocketrecordings.com fac ebook.com/rocket.recordings.uk twitter.com/rocketrecording rocketrecordings.bandcamp.com 5 Shit and Shine, the mutant brainchild of seasoned transgressor Craig Clouse, have traversed to places that few ordinary bands would dare to venture, and moreover have transcended both genre and sanity in their pursuit of reckless audial endangerment. Taking the repetitive rhythmic drive of krautrock and marrying it to a percussive Butthole Surfers-style strain of acidic intensity. they’ve carved out a unique niche for themselves as one of the most unpredictable, ornery and - occasionally - outright unpleasant outfits in living memory. Like a robot Can-Hawkwind hybrid in a Phillip K. Dick future, reassembling disco, abstract electronica and noiserock into elegant new shapes, Shit and Shine furrow brows and fry synapses in equal measure. In spite of this new opus boasting a leaner, sleeker attack than that of yore – partly informed by the band’s recent releases on Powell’s Diagonal records - the same sense of gleeful perversity is abundant, and the same twisted humour ingrained in these grotesque and hypnotic grooves.
