mclusky
“i know computer”
The triumphant return of mclusky remains in high gear as the trio announce a new mini-album, i sure am getting sick of this bowling alley, due out March 20th via Ipecac (Melvins, The Jesus Lizard, Human Impact). Is it a stop-gap release that comes just in time for their upcoming US tour with Pile? Sure it is, and there ain’t a damn thing wrong with that, because it’s new music from.mclusky, and that’s hardly something to complain about. Comprised of a pair of new singles, a pair of album b-sides (which are still new singles to us, the dear listeners), and a pair of previously released but never on vinyl singles, it’s a welcome expansion to last year’s the world is still here and so are we. “i know computer” is the first of those new singles, a low-end heavy song that balances brute force, a colossal rhythmic pulse (a tip of the hat to Jack Egglestone for the drum beat on this one) and of course the sardonic lyrical bite of Falco’s agitated vocals. There’s a sense of irreverence and disdain, a feeling of contempt for those who lack empathy in favor of living on the internet, but then again…. maybe I’m missing the point altogether. Either way, it’s a ripper. Go pick up the record. Go pick up tickets to their shows.
