Besta Quadrada Besta Quadrada LP
BESTA QUADRADA brings us a fresh helping of off-kilter noise out of Western New York. Moving between droning and lurching rhythms and explosive hardcore with dark undercurrents, the brief and artful songs on this debut LP spin a web of brooding potency. The dramatic vocal performance gets downright Kim Gordon-esque at times (“Spiral”), and then switches moods to capture even brattier and more sardonic tones (“Life of the Party”). Drenched in distortion, it sways and charges in unpredictable intervals, leaving the listener pleasantly dizzied in its wake.
