ACOLYTES ACTION SQUAD-BUST OF, CD, 2000, UK

One of THE great unsung experimental ensembles of the last 10 years, AAS's remit here on their second release (following their very Tietchens-y 1998 LP Incredulous Shrinking World) veers off into even deeper esoteric waters. There's a real strong whiff of The Lemon Kittens' claustrophobic hermeticism here, but in a very different (and rather more nerve wracking) way from that in which, lets say, Volcano The Bear approaches such tropes. Combine that with some seriously sinister vocalese that brings to mind the witchy spellcasting of Alva and encase the proceedings in a sooty, deadened post-industrial atmosphere and you're halfway toward grasping what these headcases have concocted here.
