"This odd and beguiling record will chase mundanity from your life with the speed of Germans fleeing the Moscow suburbs in '42. Damon Locks once sang for Trenchmouth--and Trenchmouth was hot, frenzied, fanatical and weird. With some of Fugazi's fury and a lot more experimental madness than those better known rabble-rousers, T-Mouth mashed ska, dub, hardcore and electronics in a sound that didn't so much damn the present as it did yearn openly, desperately for the Future. This new band makes a further exploration of the dark sonic corners suggested by Trenchmouth's more freaked-out material. Drenched in dub's mystery and monstrous undertow, the Eternals meditate on these times of chaos. Locks' rambling warble is the star, something between a Beat's blissed-out trance and a sidewalk madman's prophetic chant. Damn fine record. Damn fine.
