about

Blowtops "Insected Mind" LP/CD
First full-length from the final Blowtops line-up: Creepy Dave on vox, Aaron on guitar, Scott on drums/metal, and Traci on vintage Yamaha organ. Most definitely the ultimate incarnation of this band. Traci and Scott form a great rhythm section over which the other two wreak havoc on some of the best Blowtops material to date. "Black Jebus" is one of the 'tops all-time finest, "Self Mutilation Confession" has Dave crooning like a ringleader over some surreal circus-like sounds, And they cover "Street of Shame" off the 'Scraping Foetus Off the Wheel' LP. The new instrumentation lends them a subterranean industrial sort of feel with Scott's drumming veering from adrenaline-pushing pounding to off-kilter banging on propane tanks and metal objects, The organ makes up for the lack of bass nicely. It's amazing the amount of sounds that come out of the thing: deep, deep constrictor-like lines of snaking low-end, phantom-like graveyard rhythms, piercing death-ray laser blasts, and anything other than traditional sounding organ-grinding. The horror elements are still in place, but the new direction opens them up more. Less dense than on the 'Blood & Tar' 10", and sounding meaner and more unique than on 'Blackstatic'. If someone approached me with the question "What do the Blowtops sound like?", I would have no problem pointing them in the direction of this LP. Their most cohesive effort in quite awhile.(RK)- Terminal Boredom
