My Review: The Dirty Sun - Red Velvet Wolf In The Temple Of Honey

 The Dirty Sun - Red Velvet Wolf In The Temple Of Honey

Conceptual delirium, convulsions over epileptic ramifications, an animal instinct released, a thunderous escape from acid dust: the band from San Diego, seven months after the release of the flamboyant album Hummingbirds in the Halley, returns with a single that proves how fertility and quality are one and the same thing for them. Thus, their territorial devastation of pure and intense Electro Punk continues, chock full of energy that serves to enlighten the creatures of the night that howl and create an army of frightened souls. The wolves make us run inside a structure that has developed much from the British electronic music of the late 1970s. They get harder, use the technique of verbal repetition, insert a post-punk bass that tears to pieces the stomach, with electric shocks which melt the nerves. They hurt by making us smile, an oxymoron that dilates the confusion but does not prevent the pelvic dance that makes the forest sweat. In three minutes we get to kick the hive in the face, to run to escape the bees that The Dirty Sun command with skill. A song like heroin in the brain: in the sky the colours become lukewarm palettes and the most correct reference is to Suicide and Cabaret Voltaire, not so much for the musical style, but for the same state of addiction that makes the dance a spring that regenerates with listening.
