Der Teenage Panzer Korps – “Harmful Emotions ” – [Siltbreeze]

A swift kick to the umlauts, and a shot to the head as well. Recorded
recently albeit in “lost relic” fidelity, vocals captured in a phone
booth on a different planet. Bunker Wolf is an Anglo-Saxon klaxon plucked
out someone’s imagination. Edmund Xavier is the x-factor, often going for
the galloping 4/4 strum, shifting chords but never wavering from the
stampeding time stamp! The songs possess an insatiable drive. Xavier even
dips his wires into a surfy wash on “Catholic Radio” and does a little
noodle bop on “The Depth.” On other cuts, Xavier revs up a runaway organ
too. Side A explodes into an ending of amplifier exhaust. This holds its
own against the mind-blowingly stellar Cassettencombinat collection that
was recently released on Vinyl-on-Demand. A more piercing branch from
the Jeweled Antler collective, another notch blowing in the Siltbreeze!
Pristine ubergrit that raises the dirty bar for the wunderbar.
