Micachu and the Shapes: Lips
Sounds like Gary Glitter being wrestled to the ground by Captain Beefheart whilst Battles look on nonplussed. And that's just the intro...
Okay, perhaps that's just the image I saw in my head. This track is 1:46 long. Any longer and I would have bopped my head clean off my neck. Micachu's scuzzy vocals are raw and ballsy. There are some filthy-nice (sic) electronics throughout, especially bridging the 'verses'.
I wonder if the reference to Harry Partch on the myspace page is particularly tongue in cheek? They certainly have a similar 'outsider' quality, creating something fresh and quite strange. No Kitharas though.
