"Erste Stufe Haifisch followed with a brilliant set of swirving math rock collisions between Portishead and Sonic Youth. Hardcore riffs emerged out of spazz jazz non-chords, two note melodies and powerful, drumming underpinned by an ever sinuous bass in turn complimented, contradicted and sometimes overruled by a dodgy looking analogue synth and skittering, eccentric vocals.
The 60s cinema soundtrack moves favored by Portishead found reconciliation with the ghost punk, noh wave anti-stylings of noise rock as, on Unbewusst, Katrin Plavcak, cackled and sobbed her way to a mock nervous breakdown. This was the Haifischs first gig in Berlin, Dorfdisco looks forward to their next."
