─ Release notes ─────────────────────────────────────── ─── ─ ─
Coming off of the blistering beats and symphonic doom
of Abandoned Language, New Jersey duo Dalek (pronounced
dialect) continue swaggering down the same path that
made their last album a success, and in a sense, Gutter
Tactics could be considered Abandoned Language, Pt. 2.
When you've found your sound, why make a departure?
Previous tour dates with Ipecac labelmates -- Isis in
particular prove to be hugely influential once again,
as metallic fuzz and white-noise layers propel the
agitated rhymes of dalek (the MC) in a thick swampy
steam. Aptly titled, the album has a dark,
disorienting, and toxic vibe. Instrumentally, Gutter
Tactics shares much in common with the droning shoegaze
of My Bloody Valentine and the distorted orchestration
of Mono, due to live overdubs provided by various
musicians ushered from dalek's Deadverse record label
into his newly built studio. The funky jazz of Motiv is
washed into a haze behind Destructo Swarmbots' myriad
of guitar effects, resulting in a blurry ultra-
compressed dreamscape wedged between the brick-breaking
snaps of Oktopus' beats. It's actually quite difficult
to specify what instrumentation makes up the wall of
sound -- synths, strings, horns, guitar effects, or
something else entirely. It all simply sounds like a
sludgy cyclic hum that shifts between two moods:
threatening and beautiful. On one side of the coin,
there's the ominous "No Question," with factory crunch
drum sequencing accented by intense Jeru the Damaja-
type rhymes. On the other, there's the flashback to the
sweeter days of hip-hop in the sedate and droning "We
Lost Sight," a song that marks the MC and producer at
the top of their game as chamber organs swell
hypnotically underneath a gritty boom-bap, while dalek
reminisces in a echoing vocal, "We lost sight on how to
use these mikes/What scripts we write/How to choose our
fights." Disenchantment with the state of rap, and
society as a whole, is a major underlying theme, but
the statements never feel too preachy or in your face.
Instead, the vocal freestyles hover just slightly above
the music, delivered in an amorphous mumble that
matches the sonic abyss of the background perfectly.
Headphones are highly recommended for this one.
