Young Gods, The ??? Super Ready / Fragmente A-Library CD {Ipecac Recordings}

I???m Super Ready for this slice of Swans inspired Swiss sounds from Geneva.?? Explosive cosmic industrial pop rock flirts with ethereal electronic samples, keys & rhythmic IDM patterns.?? Franz Treichler???s smooth voice swims through echo & reverb filters, wading through insatiably catchy concoctions sung in English, French, & German.?? Operating over two decades outside the mainstream but Young Gods certainly has saturated the psyches of Ministry, David Bowie, Mike Patton, Nine Inch Nails, U2, Tool, & The Chemical Brothers.?? Perhaps that???s why ???Stay With Us?????? ambient sitar strums & permeate synthesized vocoder vocals almost sound like Dirty Vegas??? pining ode to lost love, ???Days Go By.????? Those bastards have been ripping off bands like the Young Gods!?? Well, no better co-opt out there I say!?? Dig these scorched nocturnal fragments.
