Sounds Like: Synthesised scrapings, bleepings, growls, smashing, crashing, bashing and buzzing. Sometimes like the bits of the Mars Volta that idiot Mars Volta fans moan about and edit out. Sometimes a bit like a bunch of drums being hit in the wrong order, at the wrong time, at the wrong velocity. Sometimes like a chord progression played on a piano that fell down the stairs. Sometimes like a dustbin being cut into with a chainsaw. Sometimes like a corpse convulsing in a septic tank. Sometimes like a giant burning robot made out of tinfoil. Sometimes like a Mark Rothko painting melted down and poured over a bowl of Rice Krispies left out on the counter since 1974. Sometimes like two owls being drowned in sewage. Sometimes like a beautiful enormous butterfly crushing buildings with the mere flutter of its wings. Sometimes like a giant set of wooden teeth gnashing wildly in mid air for no particular reason. Sometimes like a skeletal horse vomitting blood. Sometimes like a brick through a stained-glass window. Sometimes like when you find a dead siphonophore floating in your swimming pool. Sometimes like a bucket full of bibles dissolving in the ocean of truth. Sometimes like the entire human race replaced by robots without even noticing.
