Zweites Album mit mitreissendem Avant-Rock, sehr perkussiv, kraftvoll, hypnotisch, mit starkem Violia-Einsatz; Folk- & Punk/Indie-Einflüsse werden sehr erfolgreich miteinander verschmolzen...
“Hangedup explodes on this follow-up to last year's critically-acclaimed debut (cst016). With Kicker in Tow, they prove themselves one of the most powerful, hypnotic and relentless duos currently mining the subterrain of avant rock. Gen Heistek's amplified viola is a propulsive blend of drones & doublestops, while Eric Craven's drumming spurts & hisses like an ornate, early-industrial steam engine. Both players also bring some brilliant free & improvisational explorations to the table, always with a raw, restless punk rock heart. These are work songs, fight songs, songs brimming with life & shot through with melodic influences drawn from folk traditions." [label description]
„Hangedup is a duo featuring Gen Heistek on viola and Eric Craven on drums and percussion. The duo's compositions range from dark pop instrumentals with a hailstorm of viola notes, to meditations on the various tones embedded in different types of percussion. When Craven is caught behind the trap kit his drumming is extremely forceful and acute, and propels the duo like an oversized freight train. The last track "Broken Reel" is a romantic drift into folk-like melodies layered by Heistek's viola. Throughout the whole record these two musicians offer a seductive contrast to one another.“ [FakeJazz]
