"What, then, to make of music that is literally timeless? Perhaps an explanation exists in the annals of quantum theory, but seldom does a band like This Heat exist in utter defiance of chronological classification. It was 1977 when the Brixton trio marched into Maida Vale studios to record eight tracks for John Peel, but the band hammered out a claustrophobic clamor that could have been recorded anywhere in the last forty years. Parallels could be drawn across the decades to the Velvet Underground's narcotic haze, Eno's billowy ambience, Albini's clawhammer guitar, and Tricky's dusty hip-hop dirges. But This Heat were more obtuse than any of the above. They jumped between genres, tempos, and instruments, more with nervous energy than schooled precision. Grindstone drones underline the songs like a bed of nails, prodding the vocals to convulse like Ian Curtis on helium. The sound is so tightly-wound it can only betray its paranoia. www.tinymixtapes.com
