Details
Biker unleashes seven slabs of free-form guitar and ecstatic No Wave atonality atop giant churning bass and thundering motorik drums. Jensen Tjhung (Deaf Wish, Lower Plenty) and Per Byström (Ooga Boogas, Leather Towel) anchor the blown-out epics with pummelling lock grooves as vocalist/guitarist Duncan Blachford dispenses improvised six-string sizzle in a style that synthesises classic post-Hendrix psych and the reverb/delay clouds of the Mizutani/Haino tradition with the rawness of Bruce Russell. Recorded in gristly no-frills fidelity at the band’s own studio, Biker is a high-potency emission from the deepest reaches of the Melbourne underground.
