JAMES PLOTKIN – PHANTOMSMASHER

Blurring the lines between grindcore, experimental noise, and in-your-face electronica, James Plotkin’s Atomsmasher’s debut comes off like a cross between Atari Teenage Riot, Merzbow, Aphex Twin, Fant”mas, and Torture Garden-era Naked City. In other words, it’s wild, it’s noisy, it’s jarring, and it will leave most listeners either very happy or very annoyed.
