somewhere in here, the interplanetary psychadelic ramblings of the boredoms meet the bruised distortion of atari teenage riot, jamming all over a big bag of surf-tunes. in cinemascope. impossible to characterise – it’s noise, mess and fuss thrown on top of impenetrable, lost vocals. neubauten, MBV, kid606, mary chain all spring to mind.
for their 2002 release, ‘tomorrow never knows’, the milk factory commented “rarely has a record reached such uncompromising perversion”. surely that’s got to make you twitch in all the right places?
you can catch some of oita-based xinlisupreme through their fat cat releases, but more immediately, they’ve have made their last album available for free download through xinlisupreme.com. such willful disregard for the machinery of the music industry seems to be a signature trait of the band – they talk through twisted email-only interviews, they turn down support slots for the likes of sonic youth and weatherall and rarely tour. there’s an odd, and franky, hilarious interview here. quote: “spiderman is penis!! spiderman is erotic!!”. i rest my case.
