New I.U.D. - "Daddy" (Stereogum Premiere)
I.U.D. is Gang Gang Dance's Lizzi Bougatsos and art school chum Sadie Laska (who's worked with Growing and Extreme Violence [not the Greek death metal dudes]). The duo's full-length debut The Proper Sex, which comes out in a couple of months, is preceded by a 7" featuring the opening track, "Daddy," a mix of dub, deep clattering percussion, loops, and Bougatsos' unmistakable vocalizations. For those weened on "House Jam," this'll be more reminiscent of GGD's pre-Saint Dymphna material, but it goes elsewhere: "Glo Balls," which follows "Daddy," is a racket of strangulated crust-tribalism; closer "Girls Just Wanna (Time To Have Sex)" features guest guitars via seminal Guy Picciotto-led D.C. hardcore crew Rites of Spring's Michael Fellowes. The label's mention of Einstürzende Neubauten, Front 242, and Meat Beat Manifesto doesn't sound too far off in what we've heard: Ricocheting porn samples, punk howls and chants, crashing group drums. Wrap it all in Sparks-nodding album art and you've got yourself a pretty excellent offering. Listen to "Daddy."
