***LONG OVERDUE VINYL REPRESS ON THIS SCORCHING DEBUT ALBUM FROM THIS MELBOURNE SYNTH-PUNK SUPERGROUP Featuring members of Eddy Current Suppression Ring and The UV Race, the band known as Total Control originally came together due to a shared love of minimal and electronic-based punk music. Over the course of four 7" releases, their music ran the gamut of electronic post-punk, from dark new wave to jarring noise to austere cold wave. Their debut album, Henge Beat, was recorded and produced by guitarist Mikey Young (Eddy Current) in the Australian summer of 2011 and has recently been released on vinyl in the US on the Iron Lung label. This CD edition is exclusive to Fuse and sees the band achieving an excellent cohesion of the sounds from each of their previous singles. Total Control contain just the right balance of abandon and discipline. You need comparisons? Think: Devo, Joy Division, Cabaret Voltaire, Suicide, Swell Maps, Screamers, etc.The band are heading off soon for a tour of the US with The Oh Sees, before setting off to the UK to play the All Tomorrow's Parties festival and a European tour, only to return here for live shows throughout the summer. They already have a rabid fan base down here and this CD will get some major action from music sites, blogs, street press, community radio and Triple J. (we're also bringing some of the US vinyl in too)
