It’s not that often that I come across a band that I am at a loss to describe in terms of honourable influences, or scenes of a film, snippets of a conversation overheard in a club or a fragment of a book. Gyratory Systems are one such band. Their music sounds like the pulse of a telegraph announcing the imminent invasion of this reality by the irresistible forces of an ancient alien civilisation whose home lies in the interstices between dimensions, a civilisation whose burps are reflected in the birth of new stars, a civilisation which upon arriving to this puny ball of mud shall erect enormous structures, colossal Towers of Babel piercing the sky, layer after layer of stone and impossible metals surrounding long pipes covered in arcane spells digging deep into the skin of the Earth tapping into the energy at its core, alien antennas projecting haloes of light connecting galaxies in a cat’s cradle to entangle the invisible hands of God.

There, I tried.

Somewhere in the intersection between the technologic psychedelia of the Kosmische magi (interstellar express anyone?), Black Dice’s milimetric brutalism and the tribal stomp of a squadron of dragoons charging against the sun itself, that’s where the blinding space that Gyratory Systems define lies. And we step inside with a crazy smile in our lips, this is the sort of shit that keeps us going.

An EP, ‘Utility Music I’, and 7”, ‘Yowser, Yowser, Yowser’, are forthcoming on Hansard Records (Myspace).

3 albums – ‘Utility Music’, ‘The Sound-Board Breathes’ and ‘Infinite Regression’ – will be appearing in fragments across different formats over the coming twelve months. We shall keep you posted.

And now for something completely different but very similar, or don’t perpendicular lines of genius ever intersect in the universe of the bizarre? We have fond memories of Agaskodo Teliverek’s blinding performance at ye olde Do years ago, they sound like a band of mathematicians making punk rock, wizards of numerology lost down the algebraic rabbit hole, roaming in eternal wonder around the abstract spaces of a Escherian architecture where the queen of Hearts is a forever transmogrifying ellipse at the command of a cruel army of spiky polyhedrons. They run to remain in the same place and win paradoxically, perhaps because through serendipitous processes of amalgamation one could surely explain referencing the abstruse body of Set theory they manage to establish strong connections between spiritual substance and physical accident, that would be kids losing their shit to the hysterical anthems with which their new album, ‘Psycho Goulash’ (out in Adaadat) bristles glorious, find proof in Kamikaze Curry Bun, an ADD shotgun of amphetaminic pop which comes across like the soundtrack for a brainfried version of Mario Kart where Deerhoof, The Unicorns, Melt Banana and Gay Against You race each other in the ridiculous highways of a mobius band shaped circuit of neon mushrooms, all for our win.
