"Limited edition of 500 copies LP from Hair Police, with beautiful art sleeves assembled from hand-cut recycled paper and featuring a silkscreened B-side. Recorded while the group were trapped in a hotel room in Ohio during one of the worst snowstorms in history, this is classic bass-driven entropic noise/rock that occupies the same kind of low-end oblivion as early Neubauten, Skip Spence’s Oar etc while moving deeper into territory previously mapped by the less overtly aggressive tracks on Certainty Of Swarms. Recommended.

Hair Police - Totaled & Stranded (LP on Hundebiss)



Shit, yet more nasty noise here. This is avant-noise metal/free electrojazz/very loud bollocks that, like These Are Powers, takes the No Wave/Throbbing Gristle start point and runs in a completely different direction. A beautiful one-sided vinyl with screenprint, take a punt here.

Gosh a one sided screen printed Hair Police record in a hand assembled sleeve. A nice looking thing which was recorded in a hotel room after they totaled their vehicle and got stranded in a snow storm, hence the title Totaled and Stranded. I guess the people in the room next door must have been telling them to keep the noise down as this is a fairly restrained offering for them. Knowing what they're capable of you'd expect a horrific blast of screeing textures. They clearly know how to handle their emotions as they don't sound pissed off at all considering the circumstances. Instead you get a long cut that veers from monged out to dark and freaky with some weird plucking and effects. Not the best thing I've heard from them by a long shot but worth a listen all the same. Hand numbered edition of 500.
