Bronto Skylift - The Bearded Fish and The Jackalope EP

Posted by Austin Tasseltine, Mon 21 Sep 2009
****
Given how hard these two guys play in the live arena, recording them must be as much a matter of trying to cut out the sound of shaking fixtures and windows as anything else. As expected, this succinct little EP resides stubbornly in the red throughout. Lioness has the obvious hooks of a flagship song, but it's on Tiger and Hekla that Bronto really find themselves. Skittish and ill-tempered, both tunes shirk off previous grungy comparisons and see the band press on towards art-punk and its refreshing potential for musical adventure. Devotees will also quickly recognise the Rhubarb-and-Custard-esque gonzo guitar line of closing number, and live favourite Cobblepot.
