The Dowc Part 2 vinyl

The Tru West collective debuted in quite distinct fashion with last year's 12" The Decline Of Western Civilisation Part One really solidifying them as a ragtag of musicians working samplers, modular synths, clarinet and tape dubs. Indeed, the music veered so successfully between moments of uneasy calm and abrasive noise through the fluid process of live jams, that it remained chief in your memory despite the B Side presence of a two part DJ Sotofett remix. Returning here with The DOWC Part 2, it's fair to say Tru West haven't lost any of their experimental tendencies - indeed both the original tracks here sound like a duel between the clarinet and an increasing wall of grotty feedback. Superb remixes from Mass Prod and Harmonious Thelonius too.
