“Significant Chainsaw Tape” may only be ten minutes long, but there’s easily an hour’s worth of batshit crazy that’s bludgeoned, blended, and jam packed in there, Michul Kuun’s jackhammered hi-hat trembling over triggered toms & kick, his sticks a humming birdwing-blur. Imagine a death-by-sprint, but on drumkit, where no four measures can ever repeat, under penalty of electrocution. The breakneck velocity is only matched by desperation. &now add in the internal battles, the slow-motion scenes, where runner/drummer worries over broken ankle/wrist, the audience fading to black, in & out…then BOOM, back on track! SCT is a hyper-speed percussive stream of conscious workout you don’t wanna miss.
“True Beauty…” is, by comparison, almost chill, and it’s highly recommended that these two MK releases be listened to back-to-back, as they share much the same tonal DNA, but under remarkably differing cortisol levels. Where SCT is STRESS STRESS breakdown STRESS, TB(&OT) camps juuuust below the OVERWHELMING limit line, showcasing a grooving creativity and, by extension, a damn good time. This one’s destined for backyard BBQ jamboxes everywhere.
