What I like about this particular album is the musician’s dedication to do what they wanted; everything about this album is pure fun. The songs all have many different components to them that do not seem like they would sound good together yet Get Hustle makes noise-rock work for them. They have played with the likes of Aids Wolf, which seems like the perfect musical match for them; both bands have an unusual sound, a mix of noises and beats that are blended together to form a type of music that sounds as if robots got their hands on rock and roll and had their way with it.
The second song on this album “Revolution Van” begins with a beat that sounds reminiscent of a train chugging along the tracks. Falcon’s voice slowly and seductively enters. With her voice picking up speed and energy, the song bursts into a cornucopia of various noises. Everyone sounds like they are going crazy with what their instruments can do, throwing in sounds to create a song that has many layers of goodness in it. My favorite thing about this song is the varying dynamics and the passion portrayed. This song is representative of the album and of Get Hustle’s dedication to their sound.
My absolute favorite song on this album is the fifteen-minute long closer, “Untitled”. It combines lyrics from other songs and lets all three members make a wonderful prolonged noise. The lyrics and sounds are very repetitive but it is amazing to listen to.
This album took some listening to in order for me to completely appreciate it. It is the perfect thing to listen to when you want to relax and become completely lost in sound and noise. The Get Hustle have done an excellent job with their newest record and have managed to captivate my mind on many an occasion. So although this record is probably not for people who want something immediately catchy full of poppy guitar and sing-a-long lyrics, it’s worth a chance.
