REVIEW
This, the umpteenth release from prolific Newcastle duo Crabsmasher, is hardly the simple arithmetic it purports to be. It drifts along, with inevitable cassette hiss for accompaniment, like Black Dice on a lazy Sunday. With scant regard for typical song structures, the five tracks could at times pass for background noise or random field recordings. Yet, if this is simply the sound of life passing you by, then you must lead a strangely fulfilling existence; one that is based on improvisation but which nestles into repetitive patterns with rather disturbing ease. - Carl Dixon [Reverb Street Press #014 September 2007]
