TWINKRANES (Twisted Nerve Records)Spektrumtheatresnakes – Album released 23 November 2009 on Twisted Nerve Records
A self-described “psychedelic power trio specializing in zone-out progressive pop musik,” TWINKRANES dare to be different. Spektrumtheatresnakes, their debut album, is triple-pronged, hammer-action psychedelia driven by tribal motorik, barking mad synthesiser lines, loose connections, dead ends and choppy stormy waters. If you like Silver Apples, Wooden Shjips, car chases, krautrock and mind-bending grooves, you’re going to love this.
Hailing from Dublin, the trio comprises Anto, aka Blonde Fox (Vocals & drums), Rooster (guitars & tape manipulation) and Ray, aka Auburn Spinner (Korg synthesizer rhythms and soundscapes). Together, they take influence equally from dance music and the weirder wings of pop history. “We love krautrock and prog but beyond the classics we think there’s a lot of great music that would have been better if it had been processed in a pop way. That’s what we’re doing. The album as a whole is really us exploring the psychedelic world like a baby snake opening its eyes for the first time and checking what’s around.”
