This is my introduction to Scrapping Young Bucks, which is the work of one K-HERRING-1. The Soundcloud profile describes this artist as "a vet of the Vancouver, B.C. area recording scene. S.Y.B. is the first solo project after many years in many other projects including.... The Shits, The Toilets, Ego, Drug Evans Experience, This Is NOT Elvis, The Wes Project, The Koz and Security." So yeah, there is not much to go on, so let's dive in.
This is way different from most of what you will find on Inner Demons, and I don't mean that in a bad way. First off, Inner Demons may seem like a haven for Harsh Noise Wall, but they have put out some unexpected stuff, like blues, so this should not be surprising. But this is a lot of analog weirdness, with a ton of old drum machine action. Imagine if someone had only an 8-bit videogame soundboard to work with and then ran it through an arpeggiator and reverb and you may get something that sounds a little like this. The exception to this is O, which is a bit more mellow, with some percussion and what sounds like synthesized oboe over pad drone and strummed guitar. But then we close it off with "Pissed Off Pussies," which is back to the bossfight with frantic percussion, theremin, and what sounds like a tape of cats fighting, all mixed together on a reused cassette that is then eaten by the tape deck.
I grew up in the 80s, so this was fantastic. I know that this is not going to be everyone's cup of tea, and I'm pretty sure that Scrapping Young Bucks know that too. But if you like your experimental with a sense of humor, this will at least make you smile. This album weighs in at around 17 minutes and limited to 42 copies.
