PON010



The Scratch - 'X-Ray Eyes/Brainstorm' 10" single

Second single from The Scratch, this time only on 10” vinyl. Two great tracks. 'X-ray eyes' is a great slab of dubby beats, deranged steel guitar, a slits drum sample and shouty punk vocals. Think primal scream at their most adventurous.

TRACKLISTING:
X-RAY EYES
BRAINSTORM

REVIEW:
X-Ray Eyes/Brainstorm (Ponyland 10")
by England's The Scratch is one of the most pocket-picking white guy post-punk dub dance whatsis slabs since The Pop Group's "She Is Beyond Good And Evil". And, yeah, it lacks some of that record's massiveness. but the sputzy way these clowns pile grooves together on "X-Ray Eyes", then tangle them with Beefhearty guitar slides, and strange post-glam vocals, is pretty goddamn snappy.
