Can squelchy Brit acid be digestible, even maybe feel good to slide down the throat and swallow into the belly? Equal parts sharp spikes and vicious intent, fueling the warmth of beloved sweeping acid-laced soundscapes with a punk funk push, Radioactive Man’s long awaited new album ‘Growl’ certainly makes the case for menacingly beautiful electronica that spreads straight from your belly to your hips and feet.
Undeniably influenced from his Two Lone Swordsmen work and his love for that Sabresonic sound, this album of future classic acid, emotional electro and techno breakbeat dub post rock cool oddness, featuring vocal tracks from Andrew Weatherall and Dot Allison, is a quirk in the eye of electronica pushing you to the dancefloor with both feet forward. Shove all the rubbish music from your desk, make yourself a mug of something warm and sweet, press play and give in.
‘Growl’ is nothing short of an absolute gem; a perfect example of the kind of brilliantly produced sophisticated electronic music that has become a fiercely British sound; that makes the listener both happy and proud to understand where it’s come from, (even if we all thought this sound had been silenced by some deafening irony swathed puerile/trendy wave). Thank god Mr Tenniswood is bringing us back to our senses, ears, mind and heart first.
