The first full-length offering from BILLY BAO (Mattin). Born and raised on the unstable streets of Lagos, Nigeria before relocating to the alleyways of a then-recently freed Bilboa, Spain, BILLY BAO is a rough, dangerous, borderline example of society's woes turned against itself, of cultural repression made flesh, as it foments into a madness both gleeful and destructive. Touchpoints for this sound would include the nihilistic pummel of the BRAINBOMBS, the feral howl of early NIRVANA, and the aluminum baseball bat dunt of New Zealand post-punkers THE GORDONS, crossed up with an experimental fuckery akin to Japanese mentalists THE HANATARASH. Tracks bounce between left channel and right and skip audaciously in the grooves, but mainly serve to force perspectives, until every head is met eye to eye with his churning, bloodshot worldview.
