Think an overlapping of a Venn diagram made up of Jesus Lizard, Sally Bowles, My Bloody Valentine, Slint, Oxbow and Son House and you\u2019re in the right borough.<\/p>\n<p>The trio\u2019s cacophony of beguiling yet unnerving fuzz-laced experimental noise rock has earned the group a reputation as a must-see live act, having played with the likes of McLusky, IDLES and Adam Betts. Not least, they have also previously recorded with Steve Albini earning the rare would-be plaudits of <em>\u201cI\u2019d have no problem with you being my house band.\u201d<\/em> Now with an EP and several singles to their name, Rat The Magnificent are set to release their debut LP, \u2018The Body As Pleasure\u2019. A collection of 10-tracks that fully encompass the raw, unhinged energy and dark melodic sensibilities that have garnered them much acclaim in the past.<\/p>\n<p>However, like all strong drinks &#8211; the whiskey, the coffee &#8211; you need balance in strength. The core trio of Anderson\u2019s open blasted guitar checks primitive tradition and bleeds into Davies\u2019 evangelical bass and Dodridge\u2019s fervent drum rhythms, providing a bed for Anderson to belie his vocals. Brooding in white hot intensity, the albums lyrical content tackles personal yet assimilable topics such as the immediacy of desire, animal magnetism, familiar high-stakes anxiety and trial by fire learning. Dexterous vocals layer often voyeuristic glimpses into both the bands misfortunes and success, backed up by oblique and often deceptively catchy instrumentation.<\/p>\n<p>The band celebrate their influences in a caustic yet melodically conscious manner that is both familiar and new. The influences run fast and loose throughout the record, from the direct power and languishing darkness of Swans, Sonic Youth, Peaches and The Birthday Party, right through to 60-80s New York minimalism a la Tony Conrad and La Monte Young. Almost all of the tracks contain microtonal elements; from the bends in <em>Marrtalon<\/em>, to the rising synths at the end of <em>The For<\/em>, to the guitar gradually riding \u201cout of tune\u201d on <em>The Inevitable<\/em> &#8211; The devil is in the details.<\/p>\n<p>Recorded over the course of three years with Brad Hemsell, <em>The Body As Pleasure<\/em> also features huge range of inimitable guest musicians, who add even further depth and dynamics to the record. Guests include: Ian Catskilkin (Future Of The Left, Art Brut), Jen Macro (MBV, Graham Coxon, Charlotte Hatherly, Hurtling), Stephen Gilchrist (Graham Coxon, The Damned, The Cardiacs, Vic and Bob), Jeff Fairley (Cheel Ghar) and Caroline Gilchrist (Hot Sauce Pony).<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re lucky enough to have heard Rat The Magnificent before or have even seen them live, then this incredibly strong debut effort should be instantly recognisable as a consummate and direct snapshot of the devastatingly efficient unit; armed with a pitch black sense of humour and celebrating their influences in an exciting and belligerent, yet discerning manner. If you\u2019re still yet to hear them, then now is your chance. We\u2019re not saying they ain\u2019t hard work, but nothing comes without that.<\/p>\n<p>Rat The Magnificent are:<br \/>\n&#8211;\u00a0Perry M.
