Sushi Pills - Electronic Break

Sushi Pills - Electronic Break

Tracklisting:
1. Electronic Break (Download sound clip: lo-fi - hi-fi)

The Sushi Pills first CD offering contains just the one track which, according to signer Joe Gleave ‘charts the stages of an intense narcotics trip, and asks; Is anyone out there feeling what I am at this moment in time?’

The introduction is reminiscent of Oasis’ Columbia, but much more intense, with the neurotic wailing of a slide guitar and the hypnotic thumping of the drums gradually morphing the track through a number of stages.

Excruciatingly paranoid

Any signs of the Sushi Pills collapsing into their trademark pompous rock sound are obliterated when, after a minute, the song switches into a powerful and violent punk-funk offering in which Joe Gleave’s voice comes across so excruciatingly paranoid that his words are hard to distinguish.

Electronic break does painfully lack a change in chord pattern, or an obvious chorus, but on hearing the record, you get the feeling that the sober, mainstream audience is not what these lads are aiming for.

Give it time and skinny, long-haired kids could be uncontrollably waving their arms, rolling their eyes and nodding their head to the sound of the Electronic Break.
