Eftus Spectun - Eftus Spectun


British group from Bristol/Bath, Kieran Sheehy on drums, Sam Langley on lead vocals, bass and Oliver White on guitar and vocals. On this one I think they were a duo.

This album is like a transition album between their first era of 'angular math pop', short songs (with madness vibes a-la Cardiac Arrest, Karl Blake, Mother of Inventions, etc..) to the later more abstract style (minimalistic Glenn Branca, Derek Bailey, etc..). First track is the best one, gives a lot of This Heat's vibes. The other two are solo efforts I think, sound collage/noise/dungeon synth/chamber, done well, not the boring kind.

1. Untitled (Eftus Spectun)
2. The Orient (Oliver White)
3. Lagoon (Sam Langley)
