| CHRISTOPHER PENROSE - AMERICAN JINGO review from Alternative Press "American Jingo contains two insidious, sample-tested manipulations that expertly utilize absurdity as a creative tool. The title track substitutes self-absorbed propaganda as patriotism, blending media corrupted vocal blips,with synths and strings of a vague, hallucinatory nature (resonating liked graffiti on stained glass). The result is a symphony of deception, Amerika the beautiful, indeed! "MK/Ultra" (ambiguous CIA faction dealing with methods of mind control) is a more lethal affair, riddled with squawking feedback and drones dipped in trepidation. The tension is knotted by a fear-wracked vocal sample recounting a barrage of fantastical conspiracy fodder of a disturbing, thought provoking nature". -JC Smith (if anyone has seen this review we'd love to know which issue it appeared in) |
