The Fat Angel Sings

Guerrilla Toss and their music is chaotic and sometimes abrasive, which makes for a life-changing live set, but isn’t exactly easy listening. They’re a band with a distinct sound and a clear vision, and their DFA debut EP proves that their specific vision has streamlined into something a little bit more studio-ready. It has all of the noise and beloved mangy spirit of Guerrilla Toss’ beloved earlier work, but a song like “Flood Dosed” is unmistakably danceable. The track “Polly’s Crystal” is the first we’ve heard from the band since the now New York-based band signed with DFA Records earlier this year. Topping off the group’s new three-song Flood Dosed tape, the seven-minute track plays out like a whole barrel of songs bundled up into one, a musical set of pharyngeal jaws. The guitars scrape up against shrill walls of synth, but the tight, bouncing bass lines are the secret hero of this weird display as they face off with Kassie Carlson’s wild, biting vocals. Flood Dosed sees an official release on October 9th, and Guerilla Toss is currently readying a new LP for early next year.
