Sporting a spooky psych-drone ambiance, a lurid suggestivity, and a bass that mines the fevered gutter depths of the soul, the curiously-named “Karl Burns” by Portugal’s 10000 Russos, in no small way aided by the blinkingly evocative frame-within-a-frame-within-a-frame video that accompanies it, is a dark swath of electronic voodoo pop that you can only desperately hope soundtracks your next dream. What exactly the former drummer in the Fall has to do with this track – or what he thinks about it for that matter – was not clear by the time we went to press. Some mysteries, we have to assume, just demand to remain unsolved.
“Karl Burns” is from 10000 Russos’ debut album set to be released in late April or early May on Fuzz Club Records
