TESTSWITCH ISOLATOR
Let’s Dance
Casket Music
7/10
Tripped-out.
That’s the simplest way to describe the multitude of chaos that emanates from every track on this amazingly diverse release. Either Testswitch Isolator are seriously pushing the limits of grind, or they are inventing an entirely new style of music altogether.
You can discern elements of grindcore, rap, funk, new wave and everything but the kitchen sink here on “Let’s Dance.” At first listen, you might think that they are an Ipecac band, merely from the purely schizophrenic nature of the band’s songcrafting.
Vocalist Tom Fenn is obviously influenced by Patton, but he seems to be inspired just as much by Barney Greenway and Simon LeBon. This combination of styles makes the music of Testswitch about as crazy and out there as you can possibly imagine. Standouts here include the hilarious “Chubby Gets Slapped”, “Jazzy Jeff Owes Me Fourty Quid” and the appropriately intriguing “Now You See It, Now Its Been Shot In The Head By An AK47.”
If those song titles aren’t enough to convince you that Testswitch Isolator are fucking nuts, it’s hard to say what will.
Completely innovative, inventive and unique, the music of this group is exactly as it sounds, utterly insane, decidedly bizarre and in conclusion, highly entertaining.
