Fogtrucker from Soulcoalblack by MANGABROS.™

steely glints of fragmented guitar chimes/squeals, motorik white-noise wiper rhythms and throbbing sub-bass create the soundtrack for a movie that could never exist. imagine cronenberg's crash, psycho, duel and cruising fused in the telepod. this is the nastiest, sleaziest slice of spatterkraut imaginable. the loathsome titular central protagonist forms the centrestone for the 'f-trucker' cycle of songs ('music for wallflowers'/'queer moon'/'reeperbahn'), a predatory homophobic serial killer, prowling the margins of sexual existence, in a looming lumbering corroded truck he uses to kill his prey. described by fans as "deliciously disturbing".

Lyrics

Glen: "This features what is undoubtedly my favourite guitar playing in years; rain slick motorways, emergency services, garbled cb radios, airbrakes...it's Ballardian psycho blues. I was laughing in glee at the end of the take."

LYRICS:
i dream, awake,
through sodium night
pissing in sodden lay-bys

sometimes
i wait for signals
dally for signs

sometimes
i hate myself
inside

urging diesel power
along these lines
flashing spokes
on left hand side
stopping distance at fifty five?
we collide.

tacho taking all this down
the flash of fear
the crunching sound.
engine idling
much too loud
walk back
over old ground

it's all on camera,
you just there,
the pieces of your
fetish chair.
the divot of your
matted hair.

i despair

as i cradled your head
there was something you said
under your breath.
