The Eternals - 'The Eternals' CD
desoto

"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.
