twisted nerve drop the best thing they have released in ages. a self-described 'psychedelic power trio specializing in zone-out progressive pop musik', - twinkranes dare to be different. 'spektrumtheatresnakes', their debut album, is triple-pronged, hammer-action psychedelia driven by tribal motorik, barking mad synthesisers, loose connections, dead ends and choppy waters. if you like holy fuck, zombie zombie, silver apples, wooden shjips, car chases, krautrock and mind-bending grooves, you're going to love this...yet this destrots all of them. hailing from dublin, the trio comprises anto, aka blonde fox, rooster and ray, aka auburn spinner. together, they take influence equally from dance music and the weirder wings of pop history. recorded over three days in november 2008 at london's press play studios (owned by stereolab's drummer and used frequently by the band) the album was co-produced by rick tomlinson, aka voice of the seven woods and engineered by jimmy robertson.
