Portland, while having a reputation of being a vast landscape city;
friendly, easy-going, creative, a grounded place out of time, rarely do
we hear about its mystical undercurrent in the form of angular kinetic
space punk. I know the town is known for several hardcore bands, crust
bands, but sometimes a scene develops a form of music that seems from
the cosmos surrounding its physically dense and dusty environment. CUT
PIECE freshly offers that — comprised of various musicians with a vivid
discography (PISS TEST, RED DONS, MACHO BOYS, PETITE, APRIORI, DIALS,
SALTED CITY, WHISPER HISS, SLEEPWALKERS R.I.P) the delivery here is warm
and melodic while stinging and howling and dare I say it, spellbinding.
CUT PIECE drills with sorcery as if in a floating flight pattern. I
absolutely love the buoyant bass tones driving Don’t Become The Enemy
from a very ‘80s UK Anarcho set (RUDIMENTARY PENI, EXIT-STANCE). The
drumming is a discipline in grooving clockwork. Laura fires an
arithmetic meter of vocals with tonal reverberation. Yes it is singing,
but it has the accent and punch of protest, liberation and romantic
vitriol. Side B of this upcoming EP begins with post-punk splendor (SAD
LOVERS AND GIANTS) with hints of post-grunge Pacific Northwest
reflection (WIPERS). The complex weaving and conversation between all
members of CUT PIECE have martial simplicity and equal parts tranquil
synchronicity. The final track is an attack from ‘80s Japan jangly chain
punk (THE COMES, THE STALIN). This is a highly anticipated sample with a
tremendous variety of flavor within ten minutes. Enjoy their spinning
spine-tingling celestial hardcore that inversely, uniquely, comforts you
to dance into the night.
