Frog Pocket - Come on Primates, Show Your Teeth!


i personally love this album cover so freaking much. but its not just the cover. inside, there is an album structured not unlike that of drukqs by aphex twin, harsh and coarse breakbeats surrounded by lush soundscapes and minimalist acoustic solo tracks. however, there are some distinctions. the acoustic tracks are varied, one of them being a stringed instrument plucked with painfully strong dynamics (read: the strings gonna snap), others feature pretty ambient wind instruments and textures. the tracks with breaks are often orchestral, often creepy, and always have amazing rhythm (and odd times, of course. you know how much i love me some odd time signatures). i have heard the album as a whole described by someone on the internet as "music to murder someone to".


p.s. this song is in 10/8, just like the famous theme of "mission impossible" :3
