Korea Soundblaster “s/t” [Dom Elchklang]

Korea Soundblaster is not only a killer name but an explosively concise description of this noisy space rockin’ psych femme Korean trio. These girls are trippin’ out? straight up & out like a rocket. Sounds like a harrier jet on overload, or a shuttle that lodged its landing gear in the hull of an alien aircraft. Moans & shrieks mesh over metal riffs, ascending & descending Theremin-styled pitch shifts, quirky electronic blips, and thunky drum machinesque pounding. Seems like a massive experiment to breach the sound barrier or maybe just reinvent it. All pieces track together for an impressive synthesized symphony, er? cacophony. It’s noisy but not simply noise. Exemplary extreme sound blasting ingenuity & improvisation that’s distinct and definitely on par with Japanese psych / noise circles. Achim P. Li Khan (a.k.a. Hirsche Nicht Aus Sofa / H.N.A.S. / Moose Without A Sofa) also lends production & various sound savvy to this project.
