Free Music Review: I Can't Believe How Good This Is!
Hit: 4 Stars
I was expecting a middling record from a band long past its due date. Not so. This sounds like prime Fall, but even more rhythmically pummeling. Each song is distinct and and the sounds cover a wide landscape, from electronic squeaks to lock grooves to sturm and drang. Great stuff that's been on continuous rotation since I bought it.
Starters Alternators Poster
Like no other band on the planet, Holland's experimental punk band the Ex demonstrate that punk rock can encompass artistic dualities and still swing. The 11 forceful, buzzing, in-your-face songs on Starters Alternators (produced by Steve Albini) are simultaneously political and personal, frenzied and beautiful, frenetic and tasteful. "Frenzy" and "Two Struck by the Moon" possess the taught, sharp delivery of early Wire, while "It's a Sin" sounds like Sonic Youth raised on Eastern European folk dirges. A simply tremendous record. --Mike McGonigalWhen the Ex first started in an Amsterdam squat back in '79, their brand of dissonant, energetic, politically charged music was refreshing, indeed. They were early peers of Sonic Youth, and their serrated guitar sound was just as innovative and inspirational to a whole generation of English and Continental no-wave noise exponents. Since then the Dutch anarchists have collaborated with improvisationists (Han Bennink, Tom Cora), hipsters (Sonic Youth's Thurston Moore and Lee Ranaldo), Belgian comics, and dance groups and lost none of the biting edge or cutting satire that is their trademark. On Starters Alternators, their debut, Steve Albini-produced album for Chicago's renowned Touch & Go imprint, they tell dialectic jokes about Karl Marx ("Frenzy") and sing "The art of losing isn't hard to master" ("Art of Losing"). Giddy, near-chaotic, and very fine, indeed. --Everett True
