Nachtbraker’s Pollo Con Pollo

There’s kinds of interesting shit happening under the hood of Nachtbraker’s Pollo Con Pollo EP, which falls just short of having the creative energies to destroy all genres and make a new one in its image. These tracks are eclectic enough, combining crazy elements rarely crossed that a couple more like it and we really will need to come up with a name for this, though. “Gotta Act To React” on the surface bursts with ’70s funk aesthetics, but with this churning, bubbling bass in the undertow that grips you in a truly visceral way. Nachtbraker could have had the whole EP just mix and remix this one over and over again and I’d be okay.

The title track sounds like a steampunk messiah harmonizing with a drill press; “Intermezzlow” is an avant-garde piece from the Harry Parch school of making weird shit weirder; and Intermezzo is the third beater on the album and even more of a labyrinth of arrangements and zig-zags than “Gotta Act to React,” which returns for a dreamy, chilled out remix by Nachtbraker.
