This duo (or trio?) out of Japan play really noisy, experimental
pseudo-pop that buries often cheery melodies and electronic beats
under layers of warped feedback and white noise. Take "D4" - it sounds
like J-pop or something, but it's behind so much noise and rhythm that
the peppiness of the song is completely undermined. "Bored" follows in
the same suit - it almost sounds like a commercial jingle or something
(apart from the noise mutilation going on.) The twelve minute "M" is
presumably the record's major point of emphasis - it's an epic of
harsh noise, dropping the pop backing for a more purely abrasive
experience. This is interesting stuff out of the Public Eyesore label
- always on the pulse of experimental (Japanese and not) music,
they've unearthed another notable act in The Machine Gun TV.
