Twodeadsluts Onegoodfuck - Champagne & Biological Women
Bloodlust! 7-Inch Single
Here is an absolutely depraved record from the annals of the Bloodlust! catalog. The artwork and titles really put things in the right mood for the sounds so upon spinning this little gem I’m all revved up for some totally sickened noise. As with my classic complaint about TwoDeadSluts OneGoodFuck, it’s too short! I just want more more more.

Side A builds slowly with “Covered in Shit” and works into a heavy rhythmic power electronics frenzy. All lasting probably 2 minutes in total. Immediately noticeable is the HUGE production here. All the details of this filth can be heard, all the way down to the most miniscule grains of grit. “Down in the Dirt” fades in with a low-end pulse that breaks into a metallic texture of alternating machinery. Once again, barely hitting the two minute mark but hitting hard enough that it won’t soon be forgotten.

Perhaps the most crunchtastic track here is the opener on side B “Still Erect (…and definitely not leaving)” that features a core of blown-out distortion as the main layer here with blasts of the slut’s token feedback layers on top. “Mark Solotroff Built My Hotrod” being an obvious reference to Bloodlust!’s label exec features a heavy glassy drone, and tons of feedback layers.

Of course these tracks can only be complete with the most sickened, over the top vocals to appear in power electronics. Pitched down, pitched up, distorted, and generally mangled to all hell it’s obvious that TwoDeadSluts OneGoodFuck has one goal: to create the most insanely noisy heavy blast of noise that is possible. My analysis: that they’ve come damn near close.

Cock E.S.P. / Twodeadsluts Onegoodfuck
Lascivious Aesthetics - Split Cassette
The world is moving fast. Faster and faster every day. Each friend added to my stupid Facebook page just makes the endless spewing of information wash by like water flowing through a breaking levee, flooding more and more with with each opening fissure. Is information cheaper today then it ever has been? Or are we actually valuing it more by spending more time mulling over it, archiving it, and finding new ways to present the same old shit.

These questions are heightened by this fantastic little 4 minute cassette I have here. Yes, 4 MINUTES. Four minutes of pure depravity of course. So, does this mean that these sounds are just so fucking worthless that the artists only needed to record 2 minutes each to get their point across? Or should this diamond in the rough be treasured for every second because of its intensity and value? Is this a case of information overload or information to be valued?

The infamous TwoDeadSluts OneGoodFuck kicks off their track “Red and Brown” with a heartfelt piano melody then shoves the keys in your ass with no transition to a raw power electronics assualt. The track is very well layered with never ending screaming and a weird choir melody that is somehow also harsh as hell in the background. I’m really digging how just totally insane this is and think that it does well to portray the total chaos that is their live set.

Cock E.S.P. is an act whose performances rival that of the sluts. Fortunately their track “Masshole” does as well, and it is of course exactly what I was expecting. Harsh noise of the purest form. There is no musical elements to this whatsoever, it’s just a strait-up noise blast with various horribly harsh sounds, metallic shuffling, things rubbing together, screaming, and feedback.

So in the end my questions still remain unanswered. In two minutes it feels like this tape is more of an epilectic seizure than an actual release made to listen to on a stereo. It’s a fucking heart attack wrapped in plastic. If information could kill, this will be your demise.
