London-based Japanese ex-pats Bo Ningen’s early releases stitched Detroit flavored psychedelic guitar jams (a national musical obsession) into Sonic Youth style No Wave noise grooves, vivid with uncontrolled spillage.
Their third album is more calculated, deploying the clean modern pop elements that countrymen Melt Banana and Boris also assimilate.
Whilst some spontaneity is sacrificed, Slider’s carefully arranged marriage of near subsonic bass, choppy hip hop declamations, fluttering tremolo and the usual racket rings true, and big beats underpin Mukaeni Ikenai’s nine minute backwash beautifully.
