MINI-ALBUM REVIEW: Girls In Synthesis – Konsumrausch (Hound Gawd!)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

London-based trio Girls In Synthesis<\/strong> are back with their first new release since last summer’s Shift In State<\/em> mini-album, and it’s a record which will have noise-lovers salivating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Since their formation in 2016, their output has taken in anarcho-punk, noise-rock, post-punk and electronic influences, without being pigeonholed into any of those genres.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They’ve been wonderfully described as “looking more like a terror cell than a rock group”, and their debut album proper Now Here’s An Echo From Your Future<\/em> (reviewed here<\/a><\/strong>) did little to alter that perception.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This exclusive standalone mini-album for German label Hound Gawd! Records<\/a><\/strong> explores various sonic territories and expands on the group\u2019s previous releases by adding even more experimentation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The five-track release, limited to 500 vinyl copies, opens with the nine-and-a-half-minute Pulling Teeth<\/em>, which occupies all of side one. Released digitally last November as a single, it has already become the magnificent centrepiece of GIS live shows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In truth it’s three songs in one, melding sludgy noise-rock, musique concrete and banging disco. A real assault on the senses with its throbbing bass, clattering drums, jarring industrial noises and repetitive and at-times-competing vocals, and it’s one of their finest pieces of work yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
