New York City gives us a gift all wrapped up and delivered in 4-track filth called Silk Flowers. Featuring members of some of the great weirdo bands of the past like SOILED MATTRESS AND THE SPRINGS and EMERGENCY, this new musical enterprise sounds nothing like either. Somewhere between KRAFTWERK, “cough/cool” era MISFITS, and JOY DIVISION through a broken boom box while sweeping floors at the art museum, you will find this great and deliberately confusing 7” single. An Amalgam of samples, keyboards, drum machine, live drums, pedals and tape hiss finds our present is unveiled and it is as skuzzy and bright as it gets in New York, look out and be warned.
