Lets Go Outside - Picnic W. The Hunters

The pace ups a notch again for ‘Girls Don’t Like Me’, a thundering sado-masochistic storm of repressed machismo, leading graciously onto ‘You Make Me Struggle’ with it’s percussion tearing at you like a rabid dog, the bassline circling you into claustrophobic paranoia and the vocal crawling over your flesh.  ‘Crashing’ then brings the tempo right back down again resolving the torment that has gone before. An elegant display of ambient breaks this displays the other side of Let’s Go Outside’s work.

This is followed by possibly the most devastating track on the album. ‘I’m Sitting Alone’ is a full-blown techno destroyer. Verging on white noise at points this is playtime for the musically deranged. ‘Still Up’ creeps up with some glitchy techno before ‘My Friend’ drops to finish off the album. Featuring Cotton Jenny on sublime airy vocals this is the perfect remedy to bring the album back down to earth, heavenly yet subtly intense.
