Dalawa

Christopher Moklebust Auditorial chordal abuse! The strings on these guitars truly sound like their natural material chemistry..., pure metal! Tightened to their braking point or so lacks and hanging they're practically dragging on the floor. Tuning be damned, microtonal theory but an enslavish musical concept on a dusty bookshelf; Imelda Marcos slashes with unconcerned melodies through classic and novel musical techniques. And it's all the more grandiose for doing so! Like a metallic waltz of amplificated corrosion!

Can This Even Be Called Music? You might get drafts of Hella and Yowie, and it’s all the more reason to check them out. Their style is pretty unique, so comparisons won’t cut it, but this drum-and-guitar duo is psychedelic and impressive.

about

Cassette version (SOLD OUT) released by Sooper Records
(www.sooperrecords.com)

"...Dalawa, is a dense and engaging album, full of the hyper-technical, but not ungainly, math rock that has defined recent records in the ever shifting and unabsolute genre. “Painting Of Skeletal Goats Grinding Their Teeth Across The Sky,” from the record due out later this week, is a entrancing encapsulation of the record as a whole; across its 5-minute run time, Imelda Marcos eschew traditionally math-y song structures for something more sonically cohesive and understandable. Channeling contemporaries Guerilla Toss, Dave and Matt take the irregular forms of noise and math rock (perhaps most elucidated by Lightning Bolt, Noxious Foxes, and indeed GToss) and make it their own. Although they follow the well-tested tradition of mixing melodic sections with ones of utter chaos, Imelda Marcos find a particularly engaging mix, with Matt's rambunctiously virtuosic drumming playing off the high electronics favored by Dave. The opening section pits the two against each other, before a reprieve in which they’re again on the same team. They relapse into choppily entrancing configurations, but not before order is restored, at least momentarily. It is in these middle moments that Imelda Marcos stand out; their haunting and exciting moments of cooperation amidst more challenging compositions are worthy of significant praise."
