Album::Infolepsy EP

Artist::Venetian Snares

Venetian Snare’s “infolepsy ep” is a digital adrenal gland vigorously crushed into an espresso and drank repeatedly: Crush, mix, drink, repeat. After numerous cycles and a resulting lack of sleep you don’t feel quite right, but you don’t want to stop: Crush, mix, drink. There are some strong tracks on this EP that will serve as a good introduction for those new to the snares.

Strong Track::twelve
The first song, twelve, is a savage song about, the number twelve. Sesame Street comes to mind but I hesitate to picture the animals that would inhabit this digit teaching street and the children that would be glued to this particular set. The song is almost groovy, having more detectable rhythm than a typical Venetian Snare track; a very friendly introduction to our fiendish friend Aaron Funk.

Stand-out Track::where’s bill?
“Where’s bill?” takes clips from the movie Kill Bill and blends them up into a high energy drink that is invigorating and even a little refreshing. Listening, left me with fragmented images of our lovely Uma in yellow biker outfit, snow on the ground, and splashes of blood everywhere; flash, flash, flash. This is Venetian Snares at his best, not easy to approach but once the taste is acquired it will become a favored snack.
