Bichkraft - 800 on CD

Description

Kiev's Bichkraft return with 800 - another entry in their unique take on the shoegaze and post-punk traditions. After two LPs for Wharf Cat spent refining their approach, this one stands out thanks to the overwhelming confidence exuded in each track. And while the band's penchant for devolving into noisy experimentation remains throughout, it doesn't take many listens to recognize the album's strong execution. For it is the songs, coupled with the nervous energy behind them, that propel 800 forward more than anything else. With Carson Cox of Merchandise handling production duties, Bichkraft's dense riffage and thumping drum machines are brought to the forefront with greater clarity than ever before. Featuring appearances from Elizabeth Skadden (WALL / Finally Punk) and Sam York (WALL).
