Providing a taste of their upcoming second full-length LP, Melbourne collective Harmony stick to their guns on Cut Myself Clean, honing the dichotomy between their does-what-it-says-on-the-tin harmonic choral beauty and the outright cacophony of noise ā though the bestial bursts are subdued somewhat this time around. Obviously a motivated choice, the track was home recorded. And it shows. The no-frills home recording does nothing to imbue character. Sounds like a single mic in the middle of the room filtered through a potato. Iām not wishing for FM-radio polish here, just enough spitshine to give each tonal aspect its due resonance.
