I’m picturing David Lynch remaking Kubrick’s A Clockwork Orange with the milk replaced by purple drank and Alex’s threesome taking a dark-yet-consensual turn. The soundtrack would consist of songs by Skoal Kodiak, the Minneapolis/St. Paul combo (for lack of a better term) that Load Records has decided to pinch between our lip and gums until their circuit-bent synth blats and analog belches ooze through our cheeks and leave us with the freakish perma-grin of a cautionary chewing tobacco poster. But, ya know — sexy-like.
“Teapot” is the opening track off Skoal Kodiak’s Kryptonym Bodliak, and it delivers some seriously demented dub: PiL with Frank Booth on vocals, Kaos padding his contact-mic’d oxygen mask (okay, it’s actually a dude named Markus Lunkenheimer, but don’t tell me there isn’t a “daddy wants to fuuuuuck!” buried somewhere under the blurps and the glugs and the bit-crushed gasps of undifferentiated release). Point being: Skoal Kodiak is delivering some seriously disturbing dance grooves that may require something between a shower and a full-on de-lousing after your hips make you question your own sense of human decency. Blort.
