Reviews<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n
\n

More than musical ingenuity or lyrical wit, it is attitude which powers the new split EP between Chrome Cranks and industrial legend Foetus. The title track, which both Foetus and Chrome Cranks cover separately, was allegedly recorded in 1979 by the mysterious Dick Uranus, who has since disappeared. The song is a cartoonish distillation of the life of a detective, built on a straightforward guitar riff and complete with over-the-top swaggering lyrics: \u201cI\u2019m a hard-boiled dick\/Stiff as a policeman\u2019s nightstick.\u201d Foetus uses a deliberate yet compelling beat, simple guitar playing, and some wailing sirens to capture the essence of Dick, while Chrome Cranks, who formed in Ohio and now live in New York, employ hugely distorted bass and guitar, and a snarl reminiscent of Jon Spencer (bassist Jerry Teel\u2019s bandmate in Honeymoon Killers) on top of a skittering, slightly jazzy drumbeat. But the two other tracks rock with almost enough bravado to outdo Dick himself. The Chrome Cranks\u2019 treatment works well on \u201cLittle Johnny Jewel,\u201d a Television cover which Chrome Cranks convert into a noisy blues epic. And \u201cOutside Of Time,\u201d Foetus\u2019s tribute to the interdimensional and enigmatic Von Lmo, is uncharacteristically sloppy and mighty loud, with space-age vocal effects that complement Von Lmo\u2019s one-riff songwriting.<\/p>\n
