Kaleidoscope (usa/punk)
After The Futures...
After two 7"s, an LP and numerous tapes Brooklyn's Kaleidoscope are back with their sharpest release to date. Written and recorded by the band in the house they live and create together. 'After The Futures...' follows a path laid by worldwide sonic outsiders. You can hear vibes from the early ESP catalogue (Fugs, Godz, Zitro), guitar tones close to Peruvian Los Saicos, the wildness of the entire Attack Punk catalogue and constant nods to the blunt free spirit of Crass. The fifteen paranoid, anxious and gloomy tracks of the record offer a narrative, an open view of the state of the post-modern world we have to live in as opposed to a re-hash exercise of style about past times. 'After The Futures...' comes housed in a due tone heavy board offset sleeve and includes an A2 poster and a 16 pages risographed lyric booklet.
