Wicked Crafts / Braindamage Split 7″.
February 17, 2011, 3 comments
The Copenhagen-based imprint Skrot Up hit me up the other day to inform about their delicious roster of psychedelic/noise/garage artists, and this odd pairing particularly grabbed my attention, a split 7 inch by Montréal’s Wicked Crafts and Braindamage from Uppsala, Sweden. While the first piece of the double a-side release, Geraldine (Curse of the Wicked Crafts) is a slow-burning, dark garage ballad about drugs and self-destructive girlfriends, Braindamage’s tune Hot Pachuco Love draws heavily on classic minimal wave to come up with a sick and twisted synth creeper, as if someone accidentally opened a teenager’s gloomy practice room that had been forgotten back in 1983 to find this on a dusty tape.
The 7 inch is limited to 200 pieces and is out now. Before ordering, remember to check your passport: If you’re hailing from the US or Canada, go here. If you are from anywhere else, go here. It isn’t that difficult actually.
