The Locust - New Erections
Reviewed by gbowles
The Locust continue their onslaught on society with New Erections, a controlled demolition of everything from frozen microwave dinners to manipulative government bodies to herd mentalities. This time around, it is just as concise but a little more drawn out. The album blows by in just about 25 minutes but seems longer because so much happens in the sonic maelstrom that ensues once one hits play. Not as scathing or as abrasive as their past material, this is possibly their archetypal album, putting out both sonic packets of instrumental chaos as well as sci-fi soundscapes. [www.anti.com]
