2009 split release with Volcano the Bear and La STPO. One side keeps the hot hot. And the other keeps the weird weird. VTB's typically atypical entomological set scratches like a hive that has evolved just to the point of thumping out tribal fealties to its giant insect God-Thing. Environmentally ritualized sub-rhythms mix musiqueconcrete with actual concrete, forming freakishly minimal foundations for the hive of whatevers to swarm within. All this, of course, juxtaposed against France's hidden reverse: La STPO, who absolutely let it blurt. Their pounding system of Post-Post-Punk-neo-Zeuhl cracks the mantle, with bass lines thicker than Sequoias. And louder than screaming Sequoias. La STPO vacillates between two extreme extremes: something approximating a kind of industrial strength nouveaux b?timents s'effondrants (German buildings are not the only ones susceptible to collapse), and crushing riffs ala SunnO))). Pascal Godjikian's fierce grunts and barks keep the hive on the other side believing he is their God-thing.
