Chariots “Congratulations” [Troubleman Unlimited] (33 RPM)

Infuriated indie noise rock with art punk-ish agitated emo screams and distraught dance demanding rhythms akin to previous Oakland outfit, Songs of Zarathustra. Rippin’ bass lines & angular guitars devastate, distress, and are damn good. Theatric organ grinder keys and electronic effects whip those horses into overdrive, sending Chariots careening at a dangerous break neck pace around the harrowing hippodrome. It’s spazzy, hard edged, thrashy, get-yer-ass-movin’ post-rock n? roll plain & simple. Not sure if they’re still using both live drumming AND a drum machine but its pretty apocalicious any way you slice it. Aggressive & unforgiving as hell? Perfecto!
