Artist:
I had never heard of Egg Chef. The press sheet describes it as 'three psychotropic tracks of hyperactive, left-brain punk,' and declares that 'Egg Chef will suck your soul.' This comes on interesting orange vinyl and is limited to 375 copies. So let's see what this sounds like ' we'll take each track in turn. 'Opinions are Meaningless in the Void' starts off with a sample of someone talking about how she started in Kansas and 'woke up next to the guy's father.' This is some weird stuff. The vocalist has a pretty distinctive voice that is unlike any of the punk bands I have heard. In some ways it reminds me of Alphaville's vocalist. This is rockin' but not typical rock by any stretch. 'Ice Machine' keeps the weirdness moving. I definitely like the 'LET'S ROCK!' interludes that reminds me of Stormtrooprs of Death's 'mosh part.' 'Orange Wurm' sounded like if the Residents collaborated with a metal band. Thankfully there is a lyric sheet in all of this and a weird little cartoon that doesn't make a lot of sense. I don't really know what to make of it, but if you like your rock weird, this is one to try out. I'll bet they put on an interesting show.
