Sounds Like: " Quartet hailing from the base camp of rock ‘n’ roll world that is Tunbridge Wells - wasn’t that the same town that spawned the Anti Nowhere League, All the Mouth Parts can these days be found strutting their stuff via the acutely enviable Unlabel imprint for whom their currently laying down the finishing touches of their (we understand) debut release ‘in the shadows’. Four cuts Showcased here provide evidence indeed that this lot aren’t slouches in the crafting of edgy grunge math, ‘these eyes’ pretty much the sore thumb of the set veers into territories more the prevail of ‘good beneath the radar’ era the Playwrights and the much missed oblique overtures of South East London’s Left Hand whilst simultaneously having a curious knack of mooching around ominously like some flashback from the mid 90’s Touch ’n’ Go catalogue and here we are thinking Storm and Stress. From therein the melodies blister beautifully with a dulling radiance that suggests elements of a blissed out Nirvana shimmying up to Soundgarden with the slow burn fringe flipping ‘do me again’ coming across a lot more fractured in intent, dislocated in design and ravaged by a sense of something fraying at the edges as though QoTSA where buggering about beneath the control desk impishly warping the mix and applying some simmering arid dry snake-winds of their own in order to accentuate the almost comatose and trippy effect etched at its core. Best of the set though is the brooding ‘death defying man’ - a seriously out there slice of fuzzing blankness, a bit like the Ministry played at the wrong speed or perhaps a screwed up Codeine, the textures coldly despondent and acutely riddled amid the maddening looping throb of some killer chop chop riffola a la Killing Joke. Damn fine if you ask me. "
