Moon Pool, Dead Band

Another curveball from the Not Not Fun camp, 'Human Fly' pits Wolf Eyes noisenik Nate Young against veteran garage punk drummer Dave Shettler and while their collaborative moniker might be a little zany, their brand of dancefloor-ready industrial/techno variations is tough to ignore. Veering from hazy EBM-flecked speed garage (we're not kidding, take a listen) on the title track to Chicago bleep on the zonked 'Cyber Rebels' there's a sense that Young and Shettler are not only well studied but also seem to be having fun in the process. 'Human Fly' never sounds like an exercise in genre tourism - it sounds like the acid-laced basement party it absolutely should be, and it's thanks to Not Not Fun that we've got yet another record to soundtrack our fidgeting discontent. Humid, heavy and f*cking essential.
