While their last album was a sort of cyber-grind brain-melt heavy on abrasive elec-tronic noise and short on attention span, Philadelphia’s Genghis Tron have far exceeded expectations here. On House, the band focuses on song structure and continuity over random barrages of drum blasts and other spasmodic explosions.
GT have given themselves much more room to breathe, with longer, quieter passages giving dramatic effect to the aural chaos that usually follows, as it does on I Won’t Come Back Alive and Endless Teeth. Not long ago these guys were an underground favourite, but House has actually revealed their scope and talent, which at this point exceed those of like-minded and more popular bands in the genre.
