Description: | Arriving via a triangulation of Athens, Crete and London, yet existing at a psychic intersection between the ruins of crumbling infrastructure and an intimidating future dystopia Kooba Tercu have seen fit to take arms as only they see fit. â??Proto Teknoâ?? is their mission statement writ large - a potent and pulverising collection of incendiary jams fuelled by the modern age yet transcending it with vicious style. Equal parts groove-driven mantra, red blooded freakout and experimetnal onslaught, this is the sound of a fearless band raging against the dying of the light. Confident that all formulas are fundamentally there to be mercilessly rearranged, and that a sheer force of will can easily transform the ridiculous into the sublime. â??Proto Teknoâ?? seamlessly travels from a fuzz-bass headbanger like the opener â??Benzoberryâ?? to the mantric blowout of â??Qasanâ?? (assaulting CAN-esque dimensions equal parts caustic and cinematic) and from the sleazy swagger of â??Cemento Moriâ?? (redolent of the suave machinations of Girls Against Boys) to the polyrhythmic drive of the ceremonial centrepiece â??Fair Gameâ??, while maintaining their unique full-throttle intensity and generosity of character. Thereâ??s Melvins-style groove to be had on â??Proto Teknoâ?? (Kamehamehaâ??) â??just as much as Beta Band-style songcraft (â??Puppy Pileâ??) yet these disparate influences coalesce vividly into an invigorating and intimidatingly confident assault on the senses. Inhabiting a modern era in which creating art, as the Fluxus group originally proposed, is more than ever a revolutionary act in itself, â??Proto Teknoâ?? stands as much as formidable monument to insurrectionary spirit as it does the furious clanguour of six heads in an overheated rehearsal room. Itâ??s a weapon of psychic defence just as much as a love letter to the three â??Râ??s of repetition, repetition and repetition. Yet as the ongoing battle against adversity gathers momentum, one thing is for certain - youâ??ll want Kooba Tercu on your side. - Limited edition galaxy effect pressing of 250 copies only available from the label's Bandcamp page
