Check 'Reciever' - their lastest LP on Jagjaguwar - for more.
AN EXPERIMENT ON A BIRD IN THE AIR PUMP are a trio from London. Unassuming but utterly engaging, their music possesses a minimal yet deeply guttural vibe that reaches into Hades' pit of horrors and proceeds to grab the ghastly beasts and pound their demonised heads around the drums like satanic pom-poms. Think a noisy Ronettes meets the Banshees girl-group, or the Jesus and Mary Chain gone totally goth.
