The more tapes/LPs I hear from German Army the more convinced I am that they are slowly decamping to a climate not unlike that explored, previously and currently, by Edward Ka-Spel. The misty fields, essentially spoken dialogues, seemingly aimless instrumentals (which, conversely, are anything but), and bleak landscapes reek of Legendary Pink Dots’ founder. My only question is where is this all going? German Army have slain so many enemies on the post-post-post-punk battlefield you wonder if they’re going to go the way of Disco Inferno and disappear before the population at-large can hear them. That would be a dick-kicking shame, as the swirling, colder-than-ice environs they cocoon us in are more comfortable than my descriptions would suggest. How does one express anger/dissatisfaction without screaming one’s brains out? Listen to German Army and find out, and don’t worry; the material is out there if you know where to look (i.e. Skrot Up, yo!).
