Review: GENGHIS TRON – “Board Up The House”

Genghis Tron - “Board Up the House” [Relapse] … a veritable symphony of intelligent, low-fi Hardcore … fidelity does not diminish complexity, however … the brilliant palette elicited from such minimal components is astonishing (track 2 features toy drums, for example) … they are as comfortable with the heaviness as they are with the electronic passages, bringing to mind the latest from Dillinger Escape Plan (PS – Greg Puciato does guest vox on 9) … 4, 7, 10 are instrumentals … Converge’s Kurt Ballou produced … FCC OK … Try  1, 3, 5, 8 … 2008Feb12
