Crow Eater - Sea Sick EP - Tape (2012)

Labels: Bart
Review by: MH

This got sent in ages ago and these are the final recordings of Canada’s Crow Eater who disbanded before these tracks saw the light of day. It is worth noting that this was produced by Will Killingsworth which is already a pretty reliable sign of whether something is good or not., and it is. This is a mere 8 minutes (4 songs) of unhinged mayhem with hints of Born Against in the wild, discordant and chaotic noise they make. The opener “Cut/Smear” comes flying out at at least 300 miles per hour and it is pretty relentless from thereon in. There is a similar live, energetic production to that on the Best Practices stuff and it only adds to the appeal. Angry and aggressive – if i had had the chance to see them live they probably would have ripped my head clean off.
