REVIEW: The Mermaids – Love From The Vegetable Kingdom
There's a new Australian website called Crawlspace dedicated to "mostly about strange / weird / beautiful / repugnant Australian music." There's a section called Scum Mecca with reviews in it. Here is one of them.
New tape on what is easily one of the best tape labels in the cuntry.
One part Cock Safari, other part Polyfox, Mermaids is a project usually
reserved for cheap laughs and cheaper sounds emitted via a range of
toys and abused Nintendo applications. Love From The Vegetable Kingdom
sees the Mermaids paired up with Nylstoch (Unaustralians, Venting
Gallery) on a rare Melbourne sojourn earlier in the year. Although
elements of their toys creep underneath at times (definitely could pick
an annoying siren I’ve heard used at least once before), Nylstoch’s
hysterical overdriven geet and presumed later drumming mutates the
Mermaids into a much more threatening beast. The animal lurches,
stumbles and crashes into a heap of low-end blow-out and cymbal
collapse. Grog Pappy provides what is probably the greatest insight into
Newcastle you are likely to get, outside of getting your head kicked in
outside The Kent. This tape’s covers are printed on paper found in one
of the many derelict buildings in the Newcastle “CBD” (I use the term
very loosely) before it was demolished. My copy has a list of many of
Newcastle’s suburbs in its background, and I probably have a fucked
story associated with every one of them. There is no love in this
vegetable patch.
