Total Control's 2011 LP Henge Beat was not only one of the best albums to come out that year, but also one of the most impressionable albums to come out in quite some time. The band continues the practice of Aussie band members dabbling in multiple bands and is led by Daniel Stewart (Straightjacket
Nation, UV Race) and Mikey Young (Eddy Current Suppression Ring, Ooga Boogas). The band's early single for 'Paranoid Video' preceded Henge Beat and was an electronic italo-disco onslaught that made the aggressiveness of Henge Beat an overwhelmingly unexpected treat. The band continues to keep us on our heels with the release of a 7" from Sub Pop Records on October 8 (buy) that includes two new tracks exclusive to this release. 'A Scene From A Marriage' starts out innocently enough with soft acoustic guitar before jumping into the aggression and tempered driven energy of their earlier work. The B-side, 'Contract,' is a moody, deep, and dark kraut-inspired song that fits well with the release's artwork from Karl Nawrot.
On October 20th we'll be treated to a new 12" from Total Control but don't try pin their sound down because the inaugural release from Home Loan Records includes five tracks of wonky, wobbling, and gyrating effects and remixes that would be more fitting in a house club. The 12" contains a reworking of 'Carpet Rash' from Henge Beat, two new originals, and two Michael Ozone remixes. You can stream the entire thing over at Soundcloud and keep your eyes peeled on the Home Loan Records site for purchasing details to come.
