Children of The Telepathic Experience

Some offbeat and delinquent music from two weirdos from Sydney and a Canadian exchange student: in the world of Gerling, all is permitted, nothing is taken seriously. This debut album sees them unleash their wilful experimentation, executed under the scrawled motto of 'D-construct popular culture.'

And so they do - odd pastiches of dance genres such as trance ('Enter, Space Capsule') and drum'n'bass ('The Last Traveller') oscillate wildly between yelping punk thrashes ('Death To The Apple Gerls', 'Ghost Patrol'). They may pretend to play it straight on manic post-rock instrumentals like 'Meet You @ Karate' but teeter tellingly on the brink of hysteria throughout.

Despite (or as a result of) Gerling's disregard for convention and cohesiveness, it's strangely beguiling album.
