wdusting What do you get if you combine a rat and a kangaroo? You get music like this: scary, beautiful and funny. Probably the best band in the galaxy, if not the universe. Favorite track: Crack O Doom.

about

RAT KANGAROO EP02 shifts from the straight-up post-punk rock of EP01 to a more industrial backed, sonically diverse and dangerous territory.

Musically EP02 jumps from circus funk to cinematic grunt, from angular jungle junk to jazz-punk. All four songs are heavy on the groove, starting life with bass and drums, then layering up and morphing into Rat Kangaroo-style romps.

Come hang with the Freaks In The Drain and gape with them into the Crack O Doom, then mourn the tragic fate of King Kong and despair at the brutal savagery of The Downfall.

Mark namechecks several Richard Morgan novels in this one. Just a list of four titles. I've not read em fr a while but the verses might even be plots of them. Have to check. RIP Mark, anyway. eldudowski

Just when you thought that Teeth Of The Sea couldn't surpass the sublime "Master" album, they pull this baby out of the bag. A record that's disturbing and beautiful in equal measures, there's so much successful musical experimentation going on that I'm actually quite jealous. G L Wilson
