From The Album Board Up The House
Holy fuck its Genghis Tron; that wacky electro grindocre band from Philadelphia. I have enjoyed the more moody, structured route they have been carving in their LPs. My friends still remember them for the spastic mess that was the Cloak Of Love/Cape Of Hate EPs. While I really enjoy Genghis tron, I found Board Up The House difficult to embrace and fully get into because of its emotional complexity. Because songs are so far from what they used to be (laser bitch, Rock Candy) they require solo listens which can be difficult and trying. While the album is hazy and uncertain, the opener is phenomenal. If I was going to draw a picture to accompany this song it would be a runner in full track regalia lightly walking and breaking into a light jog mid stride; the runner breaks into higher gears almost systematically until someone ignites him on fire. This minor disturbance does not phase the runner as he continues his morning workout through a crowded urban setting..fully engulfed in flames.
