***Eats Tapes triumphantly return with ten relentless brain smashers! The group's second full-length, Dos Mutantes, features a battery of hardware sequencers, synths, modified drum machines, cassette players and a midi Nintendo. Eats Tapes specialize in noisy, spazzy techno bangers with irresistible hooks. Fusing a variety of influences, they comfortably straddle the San Francisco Bay Area's myriad club, psychedelic noise, and art-rock scenes. Previous releases and remixes with and by Soft Pink Truth, Drop the Lime, Tussle, The Blow, Lucky Dragons, Sutekh, Kid606, Strategy, and Wobbly. Album opener "No Part Name" lays down the genetically modified blueprint: techno tropes devolve into a mutant acid strain; tasty bass chunks recombine with scalp-scalding Nintendo noise and searing feedback. Letting up midway through the album-- on the midtempo house groover "Lemon Drop" and the down-home studio hoedown "Band Practice"-- the assault resumes on "I've Become Cretin," featuring smokin' guest licks by psychedelic shredder Nate Boyce (Matmos). This multimedia onslaught also features radioactive wrap-around six-panel digipak cover artwork drawn by mutant mastermind Mat Brinkman and Boyce's video for the track "Tenderizer."
