5.0 out of 5 stars
A Reissue of the First Full Release from GoGoGo Airheart, June 15, 2010
This review is from: Gogogo Airheart (Audio CD)
San Diego, CA's GoGoGo Airheart began writing in 1996 at the hands of core members Mike Vermillion and Ashish Vyas. After two years of relentless basement rehearsals and a string of homemade cassettes, GGGAH were picked up by local indie label, Vinyl Communication. Augmented by drummer Andy Robillard and violinist Teri Hoefer, the group recorded their self-titled debut LP in 1997. Combining virulent dub inflected rhythms, spasms of skittish, wirey guitar and Vermillion's signature breathless vocals, "GoGoGo Airheart" stands as a distinct blueprint of post-punk's progressive ideals and Dub Reggae's elastic studio wizardry (due largely to experimental producer/ collaborator, Spacewurm).
Electronic industrial dub and Swell Maps styled noodlings, Mostly improvised on the spot and deeply influenced by Spacewurm who recorded the record in his print shop with presses running in the background.
I highly recommend you check out this album and also GoGoGo's album EXITHEUXA, which combines the diverse territories of disco, post-punk and the art-rock glam classicism in a stunning display of slippery funk bass lines, jagged guitar cuts, scathing vocals and polyrhythmic drumming.
