The Olympia, Washington band Gag make a pure, direct form of barf-gargle hardcore punk, and they've been doing that for nearly a decade. Last year, though, Gag ended their Still Laughing album with a chilly, rudimentary electro instrumental called "Scorpion Sequence." This was, to put things lightly, a departure. The 11 tracks before "Scorpio Sequence" are all grimy, ugly little two-minute phlegm-snarls. "Scorpio Sequence" is grimy and ugly in its own ways, but it's just straight-up dance music. On the album, a track like that plays almost as a sarcastic joke. In person, it comes off different.
