Duck Down for the TorsoOriginally published in Verbicide issue #6

This is a very cool, very heavy EP done right. I believe “combat” is the obvious concept of these four songs, which adeptly capture anxiety, destruction, and chaos. This is what Sonic Youth would sound like if they played thrash-metal. Absolutely brutal, but rife with time-changes, mood changes, and distorted vocals, at least through three tracks. Track four is over six minutes, and is a story narrated by a robotic female voice. All the lyrics are printed inside; it is very bizarre.
