about

Axonal Firing Squid, the latest EP from NZ experimental noise-rock duo Flogging A Dead One Horse Town, once again bears the hallmarks of the hard working band; lo-fidelity, krautrock-esque drumming and song titles to confuse even the most abstract of listeners.

But more importantly it once again pushes the band into the more experimental aspects of noise-rock.

The shift from earlier works stemming from Listening Will Cause Death and moments caught with their compilation/mix-tape, Flogging A Dead One Horse Town, is even more apparent this time around.

Building upon their already vast home studios in Christchurch and Otumoetai, Axonal Firing Squid utilizes more samples, malevolent synths and eerie soundscapes. Doing their best to move away from the apparent Shellac comparisons of old and pushing the envelope even more away from the conventions one associates with noise rock.

It’s less pragmatic and more luscious. Which is perhaps a phrase more akin to other genres than the noise-rock movement (and somewhat of an unfair assessment of noise music at times.)

UK based micro-label. We release things we like.

It's almost like running a record store. But less profitable.

Only just.
