Hey Colossus - Radio Static High [CD]

Initially lurching from the UK noise underground in 2003 like a bedraggled audial creature rendered from toxic waste in a VHS horror movie, the musical growth rate of Hey Colossus has been quite a spectacle to observe. Yet from the nightmarish murk of early driller-killer works such as 2004s debut Hates You and 2008s Happy Birthday to more recent nuggets of perversity like 2013s Cuckoo Live Life Like Cuckoo, this beast has mutated and evolved into
something uncommonly alluring.
The six-piece London-via-Somerset troupe began 2015 with Februarys release of In Black And Gold - in which the brawny repetition-driven raunch they built their sound on was furnished and burnished by dub-derived spatial awareness and cinematic drama, making it both a bold reinvention and an uncommonly compulsive avant-rock document. Yet not content with this, the band
immediately set about following it up with their second album of the year,
and one that further ups the ante on their savagely graceful assault.
Radio Static High is the sound of a confident outfit honing their attack
to become a veritable force of nature.
