Online review:
The Pittsburgh band Microwaves have had some lineup changes in the past
couple years with former members now in Zombi and Don Caballero, but
that hasn't slowed them down. As far as describing the band's sound,
the press materials call it "avant trash," which is a pretty accurate
name for a very unusual band.
Contagion Heuristic does not have typical songs with the verse, chorus,
verse structure. Everything about the band and this CD is out of the
ordinary. You will hear some doomy metal sounding guitar riffs, but
they are accompanied by a cacophany of industrial and electronic beeps,
buzzes and drones. You'll hear bits and pieces of metal, punk, math
rock, industrial, drone, electronica and noisecore in Microwaves sonic
palette.
The vocals on the CD are mainly spoken word and buried deep in the mix.
You can hear talking, but can't really understand what they are saying.
There's a little singing as well. Microwaves aren't for everyone. They
are way out there and their style is very experimental, but they do
some really interesting things and I found it a compelling listen.
