Nate Young airs two of his alter egos on this great split LP: Demons, featuring Steve Kenney (oh you know, Steve Kenney - he's in those well-known beat combos The Pterodactyls and Isis & Werewolves.... No?) and Hatred, which combines Young once again with Kenney, but this time with the added presence of Spence Bryant. The Hatred side sounds like the motor on your turntable is continually breaking down, as if some perpetual Technics power-down effect was causing all manner of primitive pitch-sliding antics to go haywire on those squelchy synth oscillations. The Demons side is rather different from their ace No Fun album and instead sounds like some hiss covered live recording of a garage rock band buried underneath some rubble. You'd expect this to be pretty grotesque sounding, but it's all so much filthier than you're likely to heave bargained for. Ace
