BATTERY
9 –
Straks
The
legendary
Battery
9, masterminded
and
executed
by brainchild
Paul
Riekert
is an
independent
force
that
swings
by unexpected
every
couple
of years,
not
only
to surprise
us,
but
to reinstate
our
faith
in the
ability
of South
Africans
to produce
original
music
on their
own
terms.
This
16 track
slab
of brand
new
B9 tracks
is predominantly
in Afrikaans
(as
opposed
to the
usual
roughly
50/50
bilingual
split).
Social
issues,
and
the
strange
rituals,
habits
and
odd
traits
of this
thing
called
humanity
get
exposed
to the
sound
of digital
sound
waves,
flowing
through
both
the
soft
and
hard,
many
songs
leaning
more
on heavy
guitar
riffs
while
it easily
slides
through
Industrial,
Trance-like,
EBM
and
Dub
flavoured
avenues.
The
tongue-in-cheek
and
dry
humour
is omnipresent.
Long
time
collaborator
Huyser
Burger
does
his
guest
vocal
turn
on Die
Hamster
Is Dood.
