“Another Beefheart cover from Strictly Personal, a kind of psychotic Americana!”
Where scorched-earth electronics meet arty prog fury: Annicka den trolösa by Song for a Gorgeous Blonde fuses dense keyboards with spiky, inventive guitar figures, while Anja delivers a hard-rocking electronica showcase for drummer Anja Blomgren. Lithium and a Lollipop by Chris of Wilderness is a mutant bluesy electronic trip recorded deep in the Sonoran Desert, and Kidnappers in Their Sleep explores interstitial zones with genre-defying synths and real poetic backbone. White Swami injects pharmaceutical-grade hip-hop beats and paranoid psychedelia, while Hand Me Down by Padded Waltz gives shame and insecurity their own haunting narrator's voice.
