So we have a Brazilian singing songs in English and releasing them on a Finnish label. The world is indeed getting smaller, especially thanks to the internet, a medium that means you can download these five songs and have copies of them in a matter of seconds. They're all free, but fans of waiting and physical things can order a CD from the link below and there will be some handmade cassettes to follow, meaning the past collides with the future. It does so with the music too, Coldsleepyhead is the solo guise of Rusland Fernandes and this EP is a mixture of punk, indie, electronica and generally DIY sounds from the past and present. It's a fine listen too, and a high energy one at that.
If you're going to make an instrumental track then you may as well give it a ridiculous name, and so this EP opens with the fizzing, electronic song 'To The Stars With Your Fluffy Tears' and then launches straight into 'I Want To (I Never)' where drum machines meet muffled vocals and some buzz-saw guitars. The trick is repeated with added handclaps on 'Perhaps It's Platonic' before we get possibly the best of the bunch in 'All', a non-stop riot of a song on a non-stop riot of an EP where synthesized sounds mingle with crude guitar and a love of noise. Final track 'You're Going Out' is a bit like a Jesus & Mary Chain demo, and that's a compliment. It's all a bit like downing five cans of Red Bull in a row; you'll need to have a lie down afterwards to recover.
