The vox and guitar melodies of Kris O'Connor interweave with the guitar work of PJ Norman ( Iamprimate , tKatKa ) and the power-house rhythm section of Carlsson ( delete it yourself , tseuq , tKatKa ) and Mantovani ( Montauk Projekt ) to produce a hybrid shoegazing/punk sound .
Death by Sadie is essentially an underground super group collective framed around the talents of Kris O’Connor and aided and abetted by members of tKatka and The Montauk Projekt . ’Limited Edition’ is the ensemble's debut outing and a storming stellar soaring slice of swaggering shoe gaze drilled gritted dream pop it is to. Freebasing in the main on early Ride styled hollowing streamlined codas, this sugar laced florescent fancy is equipped with a pulsating driving dynamic at its core within which are housed blood lines tracing back to the fuzz laced bliss laden glazes of My Bloody Valentine , Dinosaur JNR and Moose (most notably ‘Jack’ and ‘boy’). Elsewhere there’s a full on ‘clean’ version and a radically overhauled mix by drum ‘n’ bass overlord Forma - better known to kith and kin as AJ Cookson in whose hands the original sound chassis is completely stripped to its factory setting and radically rebuilt and re-aligned with a floor crunching underpin that to these ears sounds not unlike Wagon Christ in a face off with Depeche Mode . Of course its all essential stuff as though you needed to ask.
