The creation of "Mecha Squirrel" has been a long and arduous struggle between
the various machinations that inhabit J. Saul Kane's mind. In the lengthy
hiatus since his last release under the Depth Charge moniker (2004's "Hi
Voltage Man") his musings have taken many points of focus: the homeless cats of
North West London, the aesthetic charms of Japanese bubblegum machine cards,
but always in the background has loomed the ferrous monstrosity of Mecha
Squirrel.
Drawing on arcane lore, "Mecha Squirrel" transports you to a new sonic galaxy
that is emergent in Kane's mind although very much keeping with his own
tradition of powerful rhythmic electro, razor sharp breaks and bizarre sonic
ruptures. Augmented by the spoken word mythologizing of an unknown narrator -
Part 1 - and then rendered at it's most percussive and dancefloor focused -
Part 2, "Mecha Squirrel" evokes the dual dimensions of Kane's deviant
imagination at its most promiscuous.
B-side "Shy" sees this imagination's more sordid dimension giving vent to the
funk of potent pent up creative forces. Poly-rhythmic percussion lines drive a
p-funk swagger around stoccato melodies and off kilter electro bass, whilst
demented voices evoke unknown orgiastic pleasures. The genesis of these we can
but guess at, but the heightened activity at Kane's Iron Monkey studio promises
more to come...
