| Something like a fireball spurting monster truck, but bafflingly graceful,
like a soaring, contorting trapeze acrobat: Wildcatting are so
ostentatious and overwhelming in their slamming tumultuous riffs, so
devastating in their tightly-locked rhythms and lightning-bolt- hysteria
fuzz solos, …yet, so succinct, able to wind their beastly
napalm-shock-therapy-rock down to the most lucid of brush-stroke subtlety,
and give you that brief eye of the storm heave before the roller coaster
drops again; and, before you know it, they’re building it back up with
some metallic Gregorian haunt-feedback churn, melting the walls before
sending in the swift, decisive wrecking ball. The four met around Milford, MI, northwest of Detroit, with three fellow pedal- heads, guitarists Scotty Iulianelli, Ben Audette, and bassist Nick Jones joining the relentless jujutsu-drummer Brandon Moss (who originally played with Ann Arbor’s beloved avant-indie-rockers Bear Vs. Shark.) Through their second year, they holed up together in Scotty’s studio in the basement of a big cluttered house in the woodsy boondocks north of Milford. The goal was to capture the blistering ferocity of their live set onto this epic little disc – titled: How to Survive a Sneak Attack, an exhilarating odyssey of avant-garde experimentalism mixed with a palpable investment in classic- rock’s hook-filled structures and grimacing guitar grittiness – Deerhoof’s erratic broken-spoke rigidness with the MC5’s brazen and unabashed primal garage gut- punch; Can’s spooky expansive jamming with Led Zeppelin’s forceful guitar trounces revved to near-self-destructive tempos – yet never losing its grip. –Jeff Milo The albums initial release was in a limited edition run of 109 hand painted books salvaged from garbage bins around the Detroit area.
