HoZac Records has a new batch of releases that is expected to be shipping soon (very soon), and it includes this scuzzy gem of a 7" debut EP from Mil Mascaras out of Strasbourg, France. The band is no longer together and their output until now has been limited to a split 7" with other French band The Normals in the mid 2000s, but HoZac has craftily put together
three previously unreleased tracks for this rather stripped down set of fuzzed out Euro post-punk treasures. Listening to the tracks on this EP definitely takes you back to the early 90's with the angst and grit we treasured. One facet that is easy to overlook while engrossing yourself in Mil Mascaras off-beat guitar assault is to consider the difference in their sound when compared to all the synth-infused music that was coming out of France during that time. Check out to two tracks off the EP above and go buy your own limited edition copy at HoZac (375 black, 199 gold).
