DETACHMENTS
fear no fear

Release Date: 23/07/2008

layering sparse, tweaking acid house production over post-punk esg percussive beats and chunky bass should make for a hands-in-the-air experience - and it does, but only in the sense that detachments have taken you at gunpoint. ominous and foreboding, it appropriates the more gothic elements of belgian new beat, bringing an industrial veneer to proceedings, with singer sebastien's gutteral rumblings putting the tin hat on the glowering effect. but here's the thing - even though your brain will try to resist, fear no fear works. hypnotic, commanding and utterly riddled with the funk, it sounds fresh and distinctive. naum gabo annd moscow in the mix.
