Larva Lumps is a startling record: it somehow flawlessly mixes
industrial noise and prog rock into a beautifully stream-of-conscious
work that is at once fairly brutal and lovingly serene. The opening
piece, Driving Through Darkness, could be the title of a pop-ballad,
until you realize the actual meaning of the word 'driving'; jumping out
at you seemingly in medias res, the album and track crash thru a minute
of jazz-improv and clicking bass that give way to a delightful guitar,
before grabbing you again on the road to darkness. The second track,
Carving Song, is an industrial monster that sounds like the spawn of
Test Dept. and Cubanate, and the epic, 22-minute long closer The Perks
of Being a Perv, an instrumental throbbing piece of
industrial-meets-prog confusion, is breathtaking.
