Viet Cong

"This is a record of exertion, where the physical investment in live performance is meant to stimulate creativity, those demoralizing tours inspiring smarter use of the studio. Viet Cong's favorite tactic of disorientation is inversion-laying high-register, melodic bass patterns over rhythmic, disassociated six string rubble, EQ'ing percussion so it sounds like a drum machine being run through a guitar amp. And Flegel's most passionate vocal performances deliver his most disillusioned lyrics. Viet Cong has only seven tracks and more than half don't pass the five minute mark. Yet all are heavy, ingenious contraptions".

"Der er noget flænsende over Viet Congs udtryk, der især baserer sig på de mange hakkende og snerrende guitarer, men som også i høj grad tilvejebringes af dybe, dunkle trommer og bastant prikkende basgange samt nævnte udflydende elektroniske kaos. March Of Progress bliver en anelse for artrock'et til undertegnedes smag, men til gengæld er Continental Shelf et stemningsfuldt inferno af de allermest medrivende, lige som også den skævt legesyge Bunker Buster og den rastløst utålmodige Silhouettes er klare vidnesbyrd om Viet Congs klasse".
