ATHLETIC AUTOMATON / MADE IN MEXICO LP

This split is the audio debut of ATHLETIC AUTOMATON and MADE IN MEXICO. This new pressing sports a fashionable cover designed by none other than Mat Brinkman, illustrator extraordinaire of your favorite ARAB ON RADAR albums. The songs? ATHLETIC AUTOMATON delivers "Death On An Escalator" (with guest vocals by J Ryan of Six Finger Satellite) & "Sweatpants No Underwear", while MADE IN MEXICO contribute the debut recordings of "Infrared Eye", "Wounded Knees" & "International Zombie".Athletic Automaton features Stephen Mattos (ex arab on radar) and provide two tracks of droning, distortion-sopped lapsteel guitar set to a repetitive battery of seasick lurching rhythms. Made in Mexico features Jeff Schneider (the other ex guitarist of arab on radar). Made in mexico provides the listener with scratchy riffs accompanied by Rebecca Mitchell's dispatch-from-the-edge shrieks. Meanwhile the percussion and bass remain loose and limber enough to tackle the arrangements dynamics with no wave jazz-like focus. LP in silkscreened cover, cd in jewelcase.
