#1308 OOIOO - Feather Float

No big surprise that OOIOO come from Boredom's drummer Yoshimi P-We - it has all the motorik-and-then-the-kitchen-sink beatmaking that the motherband thrashed in.

The best tracks are the ones that ride that Kraftwerk onandonandonandon, though a couple of those are spoiled by overprominent oversimple little sample punctuations.

There's some of that machine consistency, but then there's huge gashes and slashes of "other", plenty of shouty breakdowns, plenty of rockist moments, plenty of polyrhythm mindarangers, left turns within left turns within left turns, pre-post-Deerhoof screeeeeeeeeeee's.

Not quite listenable consistently enough to strongly recommend, it's a bonkers technicolor trainride with just enough direction to keep the whole thing on its bouncy, sweverevering little track 3.5/5
