Throw Down Bones - Two [Vinyl] (ONLINE ORDER ONLY)

Italys Throw Down Bones are something of an enigma in the ex- perimental underground. Since the release of their highly-praised 2015 self-titled album, theyve picked up a notorious reputation on the European live circuit for their pulverising, constantly-mutating live shows. In a review of the debut, album listeners were told to make no mistake, this is dance music and that may have been true back then but now, back with their second album titled Two, the band have taken that to a whole new extreme. Ditching the hypnotic coldwave tendencies of their earlier work for an all-out sonic assault of industrial four-to-the-floor rhythms and screeching acid house.. Where the old Throw Down Bones was better suited for intimate venues and psych fests, this new evolution sees them turn their eyes to the most underground techno clubs and the slea- ziest warehouse venues. The two key members of Throw Down Bones are Francesco Vanni and Dave Gali but on this effort, their producer James Aparicio also played an integral part in writing the album. Francesco spends his time building bespoke FX pedals and analogue synths under the name Noise Militia and James was for- merly the in-house engineer at the Mute Records studio. With Noise Militia prototypes littered around the studio, Francesco and Daves knack for instrumental experimentation and James studio prowess, it should come as no surprise that the result is a collec- tion of tracks that push Throw Down Bones electronica right to the brink. If you like your music intense, punishing and ear-drum- rattling then this is the record for you. The first three tracks on the album First Follower, We Are Drugs and Slow Violence lay out the bands mission from the off, bursting through a pulsing elec- tronic throb are unrelenting motorik basslines that twist and contort as they circles around and around and around, layers of juddering hardware electronics constantly punching through. Then theres Golovkin, a merciless all-out rave track that zaps you right in the cortex and the electro-throb of Zero Day Exploit that, like a cyber-attack of the same name, is an unstoppable attack on the senses its less in-your-face than the rest of the album but try and stop that programmed acid-tinged groove from tearing through your bloodstream.
