PART CHIMP

"...after listening to ‘I Am Come’ you will either feel so violated that you’ll want to kill yourself or so exhilirated that you’ll want to live forever. Isn’t that recommendation enough?" - NME

"Think it sounds unapproachable? No way. This is ROCK! Rock, as I understand it: vivid, colourful, full of hidden intricacies and tumbling delights, guitars as instruments of expression, songs sharp and sudden nonetheless, climax and anti-climax, thurst and counter-thrust, melody and counter-melody. Absolutely fucking wonderful.”

Volume. It goes to eleven. Sure. Bleeding ear drums. Sure. But the use of volume is not a gimmick for Part Chimp. Volume and amps maxed out is needed to reach the sounds and feelings that ended up on their second LP “I AM COME.”
Nearly becoming complete tape scramble, Part Chimp takes volume to the clipping point.

After displaying their near ear drum bursting levels on their first LP “Chart Pimp,” Part Chimp have refined their sound,
maintaining the walls of distortion, yet adding more hooks and harmony. The word evolution could be used here, but without being punny, let’s say Part Chimp have developed, but the inner ape is still with them.

If Part Chimp’s debut was crusty punk fueled by an Ampthetamine Reptile crunch, then “I AM COME” is a highly refined offering, standing alongside distortion dwellers such as My Bloody Valentine, Sonic Youth, and Sunno))). Recorded and mixed deep in the red by John Cummings of Mogwai, “I AM COME” is an unbelievable mix of dynamics, harmony, and
dissonance.

NEW!

I AM COME

"If Lightning Bolt structured their songs like Mogwai (whose guitarist
produced this album), they might sound like these British noise-flayers,
buildindg loud-louder-loud song chunks, singing in the key of *yeah!*,
reminding us that "post-rock" is what you call the time after you smash your guitar." - SPIN Magazine
