TSUGI album review, July 2010 : WWW.TSUGI.FR/INDEX.PHP?OPTION=COM_CONTENT&TASK=VIEW&ID=2844&ITEMID=9 Translation : It's easy to forget that Berlin is not only the capital of minimal techno and clubbing for the masses. There has always remained an underground scene which perpetuates the punk spirit that prevailed in the city during the mid eighties- when the unsinkable label shitkatapult was first drawn up, led by it's sometimes hieratic hand, T.Raumschmiere. Despite a creative weakness as of late, the label had the fine nose to sign up Notic Nastic, an improbable crossing of Yelle and Crystal Castles. electro-techno binary and songs with topic - teenage faintness slashed with that total couldn't-give-a-damn attitude (“DIGITAL Crush No One”, “Stupid Happy”). The group was noted in 2009 for a very 3.0 distribution of it's music via a portable mini-website. Notic Nastic, which is known for it's outrageous live performances, has passed their their first test in length with the album, "It's Dark But It's Ok", which is carried through by a rage and a killer adolescents which is a pleasure to hear. Not revolutionary, but a welcome rejection of the system which silmultaneously raises the bar for Shitkatapult.

The song is crazy addictive, and the fact that she's kind of a babe and has that whole haughty trampy rockstar thing going on, what can we say? But if we were gonna be totally honest, THIS is what we really wish Ke$sha sounded like, it's still sexy and slutty and a little bit filthy, but musically, it's way more dark and fractured and fucked up. A sort of Missy Elliot meets Glass Candy electro thing, but with plenty of T. Raumschmiere or Motor mixed in. Big stuttery beats, squelchy synths, woozy loops, twisted and tweaked effects, thick buzzy bass, and some sultry vocals that here and there are definitely a dead ringer for Ke$ha, but again, it's so much darker and more sinister, less singing, than sort of mewled and whispered and spoken, a sex kitten sort of croon, but the vocals often doused in effects or weirdly sped up, and screwed with in some way, which perfectly mashes with the constantly shifting sonic mashup in the background, all woozy and washed out and Portishead-y one second, deconstructed sliced and diced Art Of Noise the next, synthy Daft Punk euro groove the next, but always groovy, funky, and sexy, and yeah, this is the sort of shit they should be playing on the radio, even though it's probably way more suited to some dark and dingy danceclub in Berlin, way on the wrong side of the tracks.
