The trio’s anarchic live energy is beautifully captured on this long player and the boys are at their devastating best. You, You is a tea ceremony inside a military tank, the product of a furious drunken two-day session at the legendary ‘Paradise Recorders’ studios.
The 10 tracks span the divide between muscular firepower and precise, meditative beauty. The unconventional two-guitar/drum line up provides ideal space for Mannell’s powerhouse battery whilst Flower and Hauptmann in turn soar and recoil in a mixture of tandem and tag team brilliance.
Individual voices shine whilst the song is always paramount. Jazz to its core, but hear shards of math-rock, distorted raga, pulp-surf, technical revelry hidden amongst grunge nonchalance - a sound all their own.
