Album Name: Bait the Traps
Artist: Dandi Wind
Year/Label: 2005 / Independent
Review by Anna Maria Stjärnell
Dandi Wind is a singer by that name and an instrumentalist called Szam Findlay.
This ep sees Wind use her abrasive vocals over skitting electronic beats.
“Umbilical Noose” is catchy in a new wavey twitchy fashion.
“Balloon Factory” sees her recalling Poly Styrene of X-ray Spex to a dissonant backing.
“Ms 45” (named after a cult movie of a female avenger) has a touch of Marilyn Manson’s “The Beautiful People” in its odd martial rhythms.
The weird “Ueno Park Boogie” is out of tune in a very punk fashion.
A sick, twisted little video of the singer puking blood in an apocalyptic setting is included. As you can see this is not for everyone, but quite a few will love it.
