Se Mustard Terrorists & Hangaku - Split

Are you ready for some weird experimental music?  Two duos have signed up for a split CD/MC on Epileptic Media, who have already pleasantly surprised us in the past.  Japanese synthpunk duo Hangaku and Austrian experimentalists Se Mustard Terrorists both delivered a bunch of wicked and bizarre songs for this split.

Hangaku lives on the thin line between music and noise.  Their synth-based music is highly unconventional and sounds quite nervous.  It's a bit like an electronic version of Melt Banana, turning chaos into structures and noise into a listenable combination of sounds.  Yet, it's not easy-listening music, on the contrary.

Se Mustard Terrorists bring out the guitars and drums but still decide to play them in a quite unconventional way.  This band rocks in a very entertaining lo-fi setting.  Here too, the endresult is never noise but comes very, very close to it.  It remains a highly experimental version of the White Stripes, and a lot better that the latter.

In all, this is an interesting split that will please many indie and underground fans but I don't think these bands will ever see the big audiences.  That's ok by the way, this music is not suited for everyone. Only die-hard underground diggers will appreciate the awesomeness of this stuff and that's exactly how we like it...
