I need to catch up with Vertigo Cult offerings on the blog, since my last review of Voodoo Crystals, the label put out 3 new EPs. The end of August saw the release of STRFLL's six-track epic "Birds". Sitting at the intersection of post-Fires in Heaven witch house revival and fuzzy, noise-drenched guitar riffs, the EP cements STRFLL's position as one of the most exciting underground producers at the moment. His ability to compose compelling melodies and blending them with abrasive, dark electronic music to create captivating songs and soundscapes gives him an edge over many of his contemporaries who are lagging way behind. Make sure to check out the video for the throbbing single "The Sun Ain't Gonna Heal No Wounds" or the end-of-the-world anthem "Gummo". The illest.
Grab the EP here, support the artist and get it directly from him here (with bonus tracks), or buy it on limited edition tape here.
