Freak – I Can’t Stand It
I promised myself I’d write more on this world wide website and the only way I’m gonna make that happen is via stream of consciousness immediacy – putting the words on the page before I can think too hard about them. In this instance it’s a semi-valid format for a song that’s similarly immediate. It’s got the energy and agression of oldschool hardcore, a compressed metallic breakbeat and the depressed swagger of modern hip-hop. It’s a rolled up tracksuit leg at your cousin’s mate’s cousin’s bush doof, accessorized with glowsticks and a spiked necklace. Freak aren’t dressed for comfort and the aesthetic isn’t uniform but somehow it’s cohesive. They’re a duo made up Perth beatmaker slash vocalist Max Black and Perth otherguy Seul and though I don’t know who’s doing what, I know that they’re doing it right. I got the chance to spin it on the radio this afternoon and lemme tell you, it filled the half hour with energy I had no idea I was missing. This goes.
Does this project have legs? I don’t know, I hope so. They’re key members of Perth’s Tuff Boys crew so seeing the two come together on a project hasn’t shaken me to my core, but I didn’t suspect it’d sound like this. Into it.
