* Overview *
hangedup explode on this follow-up to last year’s cirtically-acclaimed
debut (cst016).  kicker in tow, proves to be one of the most powerful,
hypnotic, and relentless records currently mining the subterrain of
avant rock. gen heistek’s amplified viola is a propulsive blend of drones
& doublestops, whilst eric craven’s drumming spurts & hisses like an
ornate, early-industrial steam engine.  both players bring some brilliant
free & improvisational explorations to the table, always with a raw,
restless punk rock heart.  these are work songs, fight songs, songs
brimming with life & shot through with melodic influences drawn from folk
traditions.

Imagine a dust-up between the dirty three & the ex, and you’ll get some
sense for the soaring, spirited music contained on kicker in tow.  the
crashing force of their live performances has been expertly captured with
this new record, once again recorded at the mighty hotel2tango by efrim
(godspeed you black emperor!, a silver mt. zion).  hangedup has hit the
tape hot & hard, forging songs like galvanized steel.  every drum pushes
air, every string buzzes & pulses with a saturated vibrancy.  you can
almost feel the wind in your hair as hangedup gallop through the nine
pieces lined up here.

yes, we’re breathless.  and we hope every fan of direct, un-mediated,
visceral punk experimentation will be too.  hangedup are a tremendous,
tumultuous duo - one of the most exciting montrιal bands to capture our
ears & get our blood pressure rising in the last couple of years.  kicker
in tow comes in a chipboard jacket, on both LP and CD formats, with
saturated spot-colour printing. lovely.
