Dead Letter Office (demo)
- Nicotine
- The Miracle Baby
- Angel's Ice
- Stayin' Alive In Hell
Ghastly waves of feedback, crooning vocals, and cacophony of the most extreme
nature ripple through my speakers as I digest the music. Dead Letter Office has
been worshiping at the altar of Throbbing Gristle and has developed an aurally
offensive tonal quality that grinds at my very inner core. It's very difficult
so sit through the entirety of this demo without violently trying to clear your
ears of the ringing that ensues after the first several seconds. The lyrics are
of the usual dark angstful nature dripping with ichored sarcasm and deceit. The
only saving grace of the tape is last track which is a ironic twist of the
seventies disco classic "Staying Alive". The track gets massacred with
overdubbed vocals and noise samples while the original version of the music
plays aimlessly in the background ending the demo with some sense of relief
that perhaps the artists don't really take themselves as seriously as one might
think.
