Our Take

Upon first listen, SMERSH's latest album, Sidewaysin, hits you like a slap in the face from a soggy fish and chips. The Manchester-based duo have delivered a cacophony of electronic noise that manages to be both chaotic and captivating in equal measures.

From the opening track, "Wonky Wombat," it's clear that SMERSH are not concerned with following any sort of conventional song structure. Instead, they opt for a free-form approach that throws together an eclectic mix of distorted synths, off-kilter beats, and samples that sound like they were lifted from a malfunctioning arcade machine.

Tracks like "Squiggly Squirrel" and "Funky Ferret" showcase the duo's knack for creating songs that are simultaneously disorienting and danceable. It's like trying to navigate a maze while wearing roller skates - confusing, but undeniably fun.

But it's not all chaos and confusion on Sidewaysin. Tracks like "Jazzy Jackal" and "Bluesy Badger" offer moments of respite, with smooth jazz influences and soulful melodies that provide a welcome break from the sonic onslaught.

Overall, SMERSH's Sidewaysin is a wild ride that may leave you feeling slightly dazed and confused, but it's a journey well worth taking. So grab a pint of ale, put on your dancing shoes, and let SMERSH take you on a trip you won't soon forget. Cheers, lads.
