Growth – “The Flood” b/w “Turn” 7” (Human Audio Recordings)

RECOMMENDED

Unearthed from the tower of 7” singles over here – and I’ll handily admit, it’s because I read someone else’s writing about it … sorry, I’m not your main source of review news anymore, though I’d like to be! – comes this mystery single from a Swedish label. Simple two-three chord bang, but slowed down a bit; literally all of the tension and melody comes out of the woman’s voice on “The Flood.” Ain’t much to this song but it’s the kind of thing you keep listening to a single where most others you’d just file (or dump). Someone made a comparison to Little Claw, which is meaningless to me (they may as well have never existed as a band), but a number of people looking for a rock thrill that’s a little unfinished and gets by on a human heart would do well to check this. “Turn” is a bit bluesier, in a really rudimentary Thalia Zedek clone sort of way (like 3^rd-level “Multiplicity”) but is a strong enough comedown to the A-side. Reminds me of that band Flight for some reason, particularly their great 7” on Sweet Rot. 200 copies, very much available. (http://humanaudio.blogspot.com)

Growth review from Termbo

Growth "Turn" 7"
Dark and plodding two guitars/no bass/drums blues-garage from Martin Savage's Human Audio imprint. Reverbed female vocals are the centerpiece of both tracks, and hearing her voice crack a bit on "The Flood" gives the tune some drama that the textbook strum-n-bang instrumentation lacks. "Turn" is the better track, summoning some bad juju vibes with devilish guitar pluck and an angry but controlled slo-mo stompout. Meh. Scum stats: 200 copies.(RK)

Reviews from Roctober mag.

Check it out here!

Growth "Turn" b/w "The Flood"

(Human Audio) Martin Savage's label explodes with not so much savagery as a methodical, slow rending of flesh by jagged wolf teeth. Jandek-spooky minimalist ghost garage as frightening as finding a growth.

Murder by Guitar "D.O.A." ep

(Human Audio) Swedish post-punk darkwave gems that sound way better than D.O.A.'s "Murder by Guitar" ep (which is only a half joke...I actually have a mediocre D.O.A. 90s record titled "Murder").

Strawberry Savage "Too Cold To Cry"

(Human Audio) Like most strawberries, and unlike most garage duos, this is tasteful. But dont let that put you off, trashmeisters, as this minimalist, raw pop platter feels like an ethereal campfire singalong and an art garage hoedown. That Jenny Silver's Swedish accented-English evokes a bit of Nico's German accented English don't hurt, nor does a cover of King Louie (New Orleans self-abusive one man band, not Chicago teen rapper).

Ch-ch-ch-changes...

Human Audio reviews from Terminal Boredom

Always hard to impress...

Murder By Guitar “D.O.A.” 7”
Martin Savage lives! Glad to see the guy still pumping out records. Savage Records (and magazine) seems to have been put aside, and he’s now operating under the Human Audio Recordings brand (with a reviews blog as well). I was not a big fan of past MBG releases, and this 7” is their last gasp, recorded before the band imploded. Euro-punk with dark-synth, in the vein that bands like Cola Freaks are playing, but with the songs still having the garage-touch that’s in Savage’s blood. “Nightmare” and “Duration” are a throwback to the Lost Sounds melding of garage-rock and synth-punk. “4532” might be the best thing I’ve heard from the band, sounding the most modern and least garage, with a fittingly bleak ending sequence. Scum stats: 200 copies with two sleeve variations. (RK)

Strawberry Savage “Too Cold To Cry” 7”
Martin Savage’s current outfit, a two-piece pairing him with his former Dixie Buzzards band mate Jenny Silver. Country-influenced garage-pop, four songs here, the most notable of which is a cover of King Louie’s “Walking With the Light”, and that’s just because Louie writes incredible songs. I always kid that Savage’s work is derivative of some other currently popular band/sound, and this time I feel he’s reaching for a Vermillion Sands (or Georgiana Starlington) type of thing, with just a dash of The Poppets lollipop schtick. I was hoping this was going to sound like that TJ & the Lipstix single for some reason. But it doesn’t. This isn’t terrible, but it’s also nowhere near good either. Martin Savage records I would recommend before this one: any Blacks record, the first Tokyo Knives 7”, any of the first three Locomotions singles (or the LP), The Humans 7”, or that TJ & The Lipstix single I already mentioned. Scum stats: 200 copies with two sleeve variations. (RK)
