PETS GO!!!!, May 15, 2006
This review is from: Go Pets Go (Audio CD)
Anyone who doesn't have a taste for the absurd will hate this. How does one go about describing the salacious sound of DAT Politics? Imagine the following: Take a CD of self-affirming children's songs, scratch the back with a razor blade to ensure maximal skipping, then speed it up and play it simultaneously with fuzzed-out hardcore electronica beats. Think Four Tet on ether in Las Vegas doing Unicorns covers. Now, you should have an idea of what's in store. (The band self-describes themselves as "Laptoppianists" on one track; this is another particularly apt description.)
DAT Politics is by far my favorite deconstructionist musique concrete pop group, occupying a small subgenre alongside glitch masters like Chicks on Speed, Max Tundra, Blechdom/Blectum, and kid606. Anyone who likes any of the previous will love this with a passion.
(sidenote: the reviewer who said this sounds like Aphex Twin has no idea what s/he's talking about.)
