Psych jazz with a punk attitude plus a seasoning of noise and prog sounds like an interesting idea, right? English quartet Tinned Meats put all those elements in a blender for their second album Kilter. Some of the songs are quite abstract, almost like sketches, but messing around with them any further would surely have killed the vibe.
Spontaneity sits next to carefully composed parts, making it an album that requires some time to fully appreciate. Chopped guitar notes a la Televion and Devo are softened a bit by the three=part harmonies. This is a band that sounds no other, or a bunch of your favourite artists from various genres at the same time. A long overdue breath of fresh air in the overcrowded post-punk scene.
