Super (1994) - Atticus


One of the CDs that my friend Dodgy gave me (he runs a second hand store). Reminds me a bit of The Fauves. Fitting with the recent trend on these pages, there's not a lot of online info regarding this band. It was released on Current records with the catalogue number Raison 011, but distribution once again done by Shock.

There are some math-rock overtones on this release. Interestingly, this recording was produced by Greg Wales, later producer (and drummer) for my second favourite Aussie band of all time, Sandpit.

All together it's a bit too angular for me, with not enough atmosphere, but some of the guitar tones are quite nice and track 4 has a rather nice melody that runs through it. Sometimes the guys sounds a little like Robyn Hitchcock.
