Not exactly a toe-tapper, but a veritable curiosity that I think some of you will appreciate. Until I did my homework on
Quix*o*tic, I didn't realize but subsequent to this 45 the coed trio in question recorded an under-the-radar full length for Kill Rock Stars,
Mortal Mirror, before disbanding. The band beat a lot of their contemporaries to the punch in the coming post-punk revival, bearing an economic yet highly textured aplomb on the angular and eerie "Heliotrope," with the song's final moments steeped in a tense, staccato-heavy foray, tapering off to an uneasy nadir. The rhythmically sentient "Prediction of a Crash" is comparatively accessible (and stimulating), while "Reqi*es*cat" exudes a doomy flow, that taps into a Sonic Youth by way of The Fall middle ground.
A. Heliotrope
B1. Prediction of a Crash
