Long term BM faves, the Boobs continue their prolific career with a further release which BM somehow missed last autumn.
The album is called ‘030 Silent Hades’ and this “lead” track is #2 of 10. The accompanying blurb makes mention of a videogame soundtrack, not sure if the game is real or imaginary but it does have that cinematic quality that BoD have always been so good at. Loping along at a relatively slow pace, the collection of instrumental samples, loops and other effects sounds like the walk of some deeply disturbing creature. Ticks and scratches abound, while a military drumroll indicates some kind of warlike footing.
Another peek into the dystopian nightmare that the Boobs (a masked duo who go by the names of Sadsack and Thumper, and who reside somewhere in Glasgow – they could be BM’s neighbours for all we know!) – appear to inhabit, and revel in. Surely a live performance must happen at some point, maybe 2024 is the year, guys, how about it?
