Still Single reviews Giglinger

Since I've totally failed to cover this record myself in a timely fashion, allow me to redirect you to Still Single's assessment of Finnish noiserockers Giglinger's latest 7": http://still-single.tumblr.com/post/31841845298/giglinger-red-7-ep-king-penguin

MP3: Giglinger - The prime suspect

Our second demo band of the week is Giglinger, a Finnish act that desperately wants to be Big Black. Not that there's anything wrong with that, especially since they don't fall into the trap of attempting to ape Steve Albini's dystopian lyrical style. So that leaves you with a pair of shrill noisy guitars dueling over cheap, machine-made drum beats. It's pretty easy nowadays to create quality drum loops with even the most basic equipment and applications, so I appreciate the artistry of sticking with such clearly outdated sounds. It fits the style well and the addition of a few short synth lines on this particular track is bonus. Aside from obvious issues of originality, I like this a lot.
