DING053 - TRAUMA HARNESS, TRAUMA DEMOLITIONAL


Release 053 is a washed-out friction hum otherwise known as Trauma Demolitional, by a relatively new band, Trauma Harness. A STL/Belleville power trio featuring members bands such as Shaved Women and Egg Chef, The release, recorded on a 4-Track cassette deck, is a fuzzy and hazy swamp of gloomy, yet unmistakeably poppy songs. The first side blazes out with "Eternal Return Company" and going straight into electric anthem "Hydroelectricity", before slowing gears into "End of Days", then ending with the ear-piercing blast of "Indentured Servitude". The second side kicks out with the drum chant of "Motel Hell" and the stop-go juggling of "Completely Frigid", before ending with the eerie drone of "Scrap Brain Zone", wrapping the cassette up.
           You can buy it directly from Dingle here, for the minimal retail of $2.00, and download the entire release for free off of their bandcamp, which is linked at the top of the post. Enjoy the indecisive weather of fall with the right music!
