The Thing, Shit & Shine

Trost continues its Trost Jukebox Series of 7"s. Mats Gustafsson: tenor and baritone saxophones; Ingebrigt Håker Flaten: double bass; Paal Nilssen-Love: drums, percussion, and megaphone-sampler. It seemed to be a split between The Thing and Shit and Shine but instead they are playing together and make the most awful but visceral racket. Thumping hardcore repeato-punk is married to madcap electronics to well and truly cleanse your ears out once and for all. Both sides sort of sound like the Napalm Death collaborating with Merzbow.
Shit and Shine is a London-based group formed by both British and USA musicians. Its typical line-up has multipled drummers and guitarists, which is somewhat reminiscent of the Crash Worship and other percussive-oriented post-psychedelic bands.
