You might have thought I was introducing you to my mum and dad, but I'm not. Mum & Dad is a collaborative project between electro/ grindcore musicians DJ Skull Vomit and Ladyscraper. the project has released two tracks via Soundcloud, both of which have been labelled as demos.
Traces of flight chugs along slowly as it unleashes doom/ drone metal guitar progressions, sporadic outbursts of frantic drum rolls, and hoarsely screamed vocals.
The guitar at the beginning of Icarus gives the listener the impression that it's heading in the same direction as the previous track. But as each instrument adds to the beat established by the bass and drums, Icarus begins to sound more and more as though it was written in Seattle during the early 90s. At times it even sounds like an out-take from a Nirvana jam session recorded on Kurt Cobain's tape deck.
These are two of the best sounding 'demo' versions of songs I've heard in recent times. It would be a pity if the final recorded versions of these tracks lose too much of the raw sound captured in these recordings. The Mum & Dad collaboration has a huge potential to release some powerful tunes.
