Phil Dirt - Reverb Central - PO Box 1609, Felton, CA 95018-1609 USA Robert Johnson and Punchdrunks - Oddball c/w Flymo 2002
 | Robert Johnson has traveled through a number of incarnations, from his early days of exquisite garage-surf instrumentals with the Bottle Ups, through Robert Johnson and Punchdrunks gradually darkening morph from fuzz surf to industrial morbidity. This two-song demo sports very well crafted tracks in the latter category that still have vestiges of surf and garage in their eerie imagery. |
Picks: Oddball, Flymo 2002
Track by Track Review
Industrial Future Surf (Instrumental)
Dark and tweaky electro-imagery programmed for a spy's day off. The melody is very fluid and the arrangement haunting in an industrial kind of way. Instrumental sounds of a bleak future.
Industrial Future Surf (Instrumental)
An almost morbid melody, a stark futurist soundscape, and tweaky tonality. "Flymo 2002" creates a dungeon-like image.
