Se Mustard Terrorists - Gü

When the back cover shows two people and the text 'Pamina - drums, vocals / Andreas - guitars, noise', what exactly do you expect?  I've been asking myself that question for a while before I started reviewing this album.  Noise rock crossed my mind, maybe some mysterious drones or some wicked noise rock?  I didn't really think about experimental rock music at first. I should have known that this would be something unlike most things I've heard.

This duo hails from Austria and focuses mainly on creating music you wouldn't suspect.  This is lo-fi rock music taking elements from no-wave, noise rock and indie pop and blending it into something deeply personal and highly enjoyable.  Se Mustard Terrorists simply don't care about genres, contemporary song structures or a high-end production.  No, they just want to experiment, create, strip-down and start again.

Maybe I'm not digging deep enough into the experimental scene to be able to compare this band to any other.  Only in the vocals (both sound and vocals lines) I hear the same flashes of the looming insanity that made The Dresden Dolls a hit.  The songs have a similar bizarre and dark beauty and at times ('Tajemnica' is a wonderful song) a fragile sound.  It's exactly here where the true genius of this act lies, combining fragility with an experimental nature and a no-nonsense approach.

In all, Se Mustard Terrorists is a highly talented DIY-act that seems to stay away from hypes.  So I
would truly suggest all experimental rock fans to check this out.  You'll be surprised and amazed and maybe a bit dazzled as well.  This is a perfect example of the sheer awesomeness that crawls in the musical underground.  Stuff like this is why I founded this website...
