CALICO SURF

 

 

 ARNO DE CEA & The CLOCKWORK WIZARDS " Bug Terminal " CS LP 01

    * 2nd album du combo de la côte d'argent.11 titres estampillés Brutal Surf Music où les clichés Surf sont digérés  et dynamisés  par  un traitement Noise Rock .

 

        *  " Throughout his  work in Stef & Arno, Antena Tres, The Irradiates, and Arno De Cea & the Clockwork Wizards , Arno De Cea has proven himself to be one hell of a psycho,frantic,and all around excellent guitar player. At some point calling it "Surf Rock" sounds too leisurely,not desperate enough,no matter how big the imaginary wave.From the very first note of "Bug Terminal" it's loud,huge,bold,and so hyperactive  I struggle to come up with some sort of activity that this would be suitable for.Catastrophe rock?Apocalypse rock?There are a few moments on here where he changes up the pace: an acoustic number  (   "Ascension") ,one vocal Punk track (" The Hammer and the Nails") , one that's pretty much Doom Metal ("Soy Diabolico") ,one slow one ( "Méduses"),and one mid-pace track ("Loose lips sink ships").The rest are all warp speed,as they should be."  ( STORM SURGE OF REVERB )

 SEASICK 6 " HEXAKOSIOIHEXEKONTAHEXAPHOBIA " CSLP 02

   This is the last album by Surf anticonformists SEASICK 6 from Toulouse,France . It's powerfull , sofisticated , melodic and breaks the rules of the  traditional Surf genre.
