65daysofstatic - The Distant and Mechanised Glow of Eastern European Dance Parties

This is the sort of music you’d hear as the credits roll for a movie based on the plot concept, “guys kicking each other in their faces” (assuming Kasabian’s “Clubfoot” wasn’t already being used). It has those “nnnsque” noises people use when they’re making fun of techno. There are men and women screaming indistinguishable words in high pitched voices.

I would call the 4 song EP derivative, but 65daysofstatic has been playing this sort of music since 2001.  If The Distant and Mechanised Glow of Eastern European Dance Parties is derivative of any sound, it’s the sound 65daysofstatic has spent the last few years popularizing through extensive touring and remixing.  Unfortunately, in popularizing their style, 65days has also made themselves something of a cliche, as revealed in this latest album.
