Deep, dark and trembling with energy. The Black Mustang sound was first revealed on Black Devil Disco Club’s ‘In Dub’ album and was arguably the standout track in a very strong pack. Described by the Wire as ‘italo shoegaze’, their fierce analog sound is hard to constrain. ‘Mad As Hell’ is a collaboration with the magical Kerrier District (Luke Vibert), Cornwall’s answer to Metro Area, he provides the chunky disco beats over which the Mustang stack layers of Moog and tripped out dub vocals and fx to create a kind of Chicken Lips meet Analord rave monster. The Sleeparchive Disco Dub comes from a planet way out in the solar system where people dance only in their minds and where dub is a powerful narcotic taken only by the clinically insane.

On the flip things get seriously warped as sheets of feedback battle intense Moog action, culminating in a climax of arpeggios and deep space noise. Truly sychedelic, disco mind funk from another cosmos. ‘LCD Soundsystem meets Amon Duul’. * The Black Mustang sound is created by mastering to analog tape and cutting the vinyl directly from the tape master.
