Music 2 by Beat Detectives
Anarchic trash-techno trios from Minneapolis aren't a plentiful commodity in our experience, especially ones as freewheeling and funked up as Beat Detectives. Comprised of Chris Hontos (also of Food Pyramid and Dreamweapon), visual artist Aaron Anderson, and Oakley Tapola, the group got their start playing at "dirt raves in punker basements" around the Twin Cities before Anderson and Hontos relocated to NYC.
Music 2 is a perfect sophomore stepping stone – woozy house mutations and pitch-shifted party-acid experiments congeal and dissolve around Tapioca's delirious, deadpan vocals ("American flag / with weed leaves / replacing the stars"), cross-faded with dizzy dub grooves and displaced electro-jack. Regenerative club mutagen for a world with a stick up its ass.
