Technostress

First EP from this trio that consists of Treiops Treyfid (ex-Pitchblende) on bass and vocals, Aimee Soubier on guitar, and Karl Hill on drums (both recently of The Factory Incident). I’m hearing early PiL, some Peter Murphy, and an overall healthy respect for Manchester post-punk from the dawn of the 80’s. “All is Styled” crackles and burns with some cool guitar riffage. “Devices Crawl” is another fantastic tune, that may remind some of Bowie when he worked with Eno, not when he was doing lame duets with Mick Jagger. Moody, overpowering, and mind altering. This is Technostress.

8.5 / 10 — Sean K.
