The Artist/Album: Container, LP (Spectrum Spools, 2011)
A Short Review: Absolutely demented dance music that obliterates the assumption that John Elliott’s Editions Mego imprint exists solely to release drone-y, synth-y acts that fall right in line with his band Emeralds. With five songs that blurt, beep and bang on for 36 minutes straight, Container’s debut 12”—he’s released nothing but underground cassettes up until this point—reminds us of the point in a warehouse party where things suddenly take a terrifying turn. Queasy and decidedly strange, it’s a K-hole we’re more than happy to succumb to.
