Aerodromes

The latest release on Golden Lion Sounds is an EP by Acid Klaus, available digitally and on 10" vinyl at the GLS Bandcamp page. P.T.S.D. By Proxy is five tracks of electronic mayhem, 'dance music you can cry to', according to Klaus mainman Adrian Flanagan (who comes to Acid Klaus via The Moonlandingz and The Eccentronic Research Council). Opening track The Solution doesn't pull any punches or warm you up gently- it pumps in immediately, electronic bump and grind with a robotic voice intoning, 'The solution/ Is revolution'. Philly Piper guests on track two, Aerodromes, pulsing bass, dancing synth toplines and Philly's FXed voice talking about the death of conversation and class struggle while returning to the chorus of, 'You gotta get it/ Get get get it right', a Hi NRG/ acid house collision, arpeggiators firing off all over the place. 

Pour Some Wood On The Fire brings vocals from Welsh singer/ songwriter Cat Rin. There's no let up in energy, the frenetic beats and sci fi synths blasting away. Losing Our Way has Roland 808 and the spoken word, Maxine Peake and Rosey PM despairing at the state of the world while the electronics bleep and bloop and the machine drums power ever forwards.  Hell Below features Lias Saoudi from Fat White Family on vocals, a slightly slower, mellower track, some minor chord melancholy futurism. 

There's a David Holmes remix of Aerodromes, exclusive to the digital package, with a video filmed in The Golden Lion (with some familiar faces in it), Homer fully on it with eight minutes of synapse twisting sounds, thumping drums, and not a little drama, the last song at the end of the night as the world burns.
