Two Dead Sluts,One Good Fuck - Self Titled [Apop Records - 2009]With a name like Two Dead Sluts, One Good Fuck you certainly know your not in for something comfy, calming or nice and this is certainly is not any of those things. This self titled 12 inch album Literally pukes out in sleazy ‘n’ dense fashion a mixture of feedback shorts, brooding/ sinister synth discharge, pummelling noise textures and ranted ‘n’ muffled vocals into your mind. I guess it’s best described as a mixture of old school industrial brood, power electronics with buried sexualised vocal rants, fucked-up synth overloads, sludgy tone abuses and a damn sleazy, musty and unpleasant vibe. That’s the thing that hits you most about this project; it's grim, perverted and depraved air that goes from the projects name, to this vinyls cover picture-a grainy white on black picture of a female mouth dripping semen, to the track titles and of course the music it self. It feels like this has fallen Staley from the mind of a sexual serial killer, and it really seems to drag you down into its grey, vomit, faeces and semen splattered world. The first side of this heavy black vinyl seems to focus in more up-beat grey sonic bombardments, with the second side really sliding down into grim sludgy dischargers like you've now reached the killers lair and you’ve fallen into his putrefying and crawling after-kill dumping pool, been unable to climb up the slimy encrusted sides. An excise in crude, sleazy and vomit incrusted grim sonic displeasure were your face is rubbed over and over again in pain, suffering and body fluids. Approach with caution and a sick bag in hand as Two Dead Sluts, One Good Fuck really want to take you for a ride. Roger Batty
