Korperschwache - Broken Blades Of Steel Scattered Across The Narrow Way

Blues For a Dead Doctor



#161) Korperschwache - Broken Blades Of Steel Scattered Across The Narrow Way (2008)

 1. Nice Girls (Just Want to Fuck)
 2. Red Wind
 3. It's Hard to Sleep at Night With a Back Full of Knives
 4. Who Moved the Floor
 5. Blues For a Dead Doctor
 6. Your Arms Are Too Short to Box With God

i'll let Crucial Blast (who released the record on their Crucial Bliss imprint) describe it:

the music emerges as a lumbering deformed cousin of classic alt-guitar noise, huge open chords unfolding over shimmering distorted strings and multiple layers of vibrating amplifiers, with some sweet sun-scorched melodies swimming around in these lengthy riff explorations. Of course, it wouldn't be Korperschwache without the jagged, pounding beats of Doktor Omega, and each of these mechanical jams uncoil over a battery of thumping machine beats, cymbal-soaked motorik rhythms and even the odd unexpected breakbeat that kind of sounds like some spastic jungle has suddenly ripped it's way through the swirling clouds of drone guitar.

so yeah, i dunno. i wasn't really in love with this album but it wasn't bad and it did grow on me after a couple listens. if you've never heard Korperschwache before i'd recommend starting somewhere else.
