Typerasure: Letters / Active Agents and House Boys - British Murder Boys / William Burroughs

RTomens, 2024

 Familiarity breeds contempt.

Looking through loads of typed sheets that haven't been shown online I pile 'em up, thinking 'Huh! Got to do something different', so I tear a page from An Outline Course in Mind Training and type over it - erase! - erase! 


It's not the first of it's kind I've done but there hasn't been one for a while.

‘Calling all active agents, recalling all active agents' - Active Agents and House Boys by British Murders Boys has been unleashed. Anthony Child channels Suicid(e)al-but-with-an-English-accent vocals (like post-Punk?) and Karl O'Connor makes sure the machine goes bang-bang-bang with a variety of pulverising rhythms but not just mindlessly, no, no there are many interesting textures taking your brain apart to reassemble it as a cut up, captured, collaged bundle of raw nerves...so the wild boys...'They were like feral animals, wild and untamed, moving with a grace and power that was both beautiful and terrifying.'
