ERROROSION’s Will reviews The Flying Batteries & New Motive Power’s “Snescore” split EP.

The Hai are quickly becoming a haven for independent electronic artists, with four of their members featured on this split extravaganza. Both bands play a variety of video game influenced synth-rock, but neither fall into the trappings of “sounding too much like a Mega Man game.” New Motive Power brings two more insanely well produced tracks that are catchy as hell, with the second track featuring A Problem Like Maria (who has been “solved” before by Water Gun Water Gun Sky Attack and Radio Wire Empire) and also produced by electronic artist Mattir. The Flying Batteries side is even catchier (I -CANNOT- get Passion out of my head) and a bit thicker with guitars more at the front of the mix.

PROFILE: The Flying Batteries

Posted on The Hai1 CommentPosted in Flying Batteries, Profile, The Hai

 

ALSO KNOWN AS: Flying Bitches and Flayed Arteries.

POISON: SNESCORE and plenty of it.

WEAPON/S OF CHOICE: We use cheap guitars, expensive keyboards, and Reaper to make our tracks. We use a drum program to plan out our drums. Live, we use drum/bass playback.

KNOWN ASSOCIATES: New Motive Power, Chris Laidler, A Problem Like Maria, Snailhead and StratosFear.

CLAIM TO FAME: Our most popular tracks seem to be “The Start of Something,” “Someone Like You,” and our cover of Mulan‘s “I’ll Make a Man Out Of You.”

RUMOR HAS IT: Our next EP, “Putangina Mo, Bitches,” is due in March. We’re also
looking to remix/collab with other musicians in the collective.

There are many moments of subtle change throughout these two releases; tiny shifts in sound, quiet background noises, drones within drones, and silent tectonic movements that all come together to create a collage of sorts which is one of the fascinating aspects of drone. It is this ability to create the illusion of doing more with less and when you begin to pick up on these acute changes it is at that point that what you are hearing becomes more than just repetitious raw noise and transforms into an actual experience.
