Editrix’s tunes lurch and clatter and jut uncomfortably, following precise but difficult rhythms, trying unusual melodic sequences. Post-punk shatters into a million pieces. Math rock adds up in an inscrutable non-linear ways. Art song sorts over fractious turmoil as Wendy Eisenberg’s clear, pure trill navigated unexpected half-step swerves. This is, as you might have gathered, Eisenberg’s rock project, more or less, distinct from their knotty, refracted pop songs, different from their forays into improv and jazz, wholly separate from the guitar-shredding pyrotechnics of Bill Orcutt’s guitar quartet, of which they are a member.
It's not just Wendy, of course. As before, they enlist Steve Cameron on agile, boundary-testing bass and Josh Daniel (also of Landowner) on fractious drums. The three recorded with Colin Marston of Krallice, Behold…the Arctopus and Dysrhythmia this time, but if anything, these cuts are lighter and less sludgy than previous material. The noise runs through precisely etched channels; they’re chaotic but cerebral. The vocals are super clear and legible, every word enunciated, every note shift executed with practiced grace.
Consider the frenetic motion of the title track, its texture built of rampaging spurts of notes — staccato, machine gun bursts of guitar sound, bass and drums — against clean, lofting melody. The riff pulls up short sporadically, everybody pausing infinitesimally before swaggering in together, slower and more dramatic, an exclamatory conclusion.
“The Jackhammer” is aptly named, the three musicians splintering the notes they play into impossibly small, impossibly fast moving bits, while also underlining a head-banging, full-body rhythm that must be a killer live. And “Flesh Debt” hammers anxiety-provoking bursts of notes, as Eisenberg sings verses of uneasy exactitude, sketching a schematic diagram of carnal negotiation.
This is complicated mayhem, played fast but never loose. Its razory edges fit together perfectly, fitting in the open slots, erupting in the intervals, the three players aggressive but controlled. You get the feeling that if they ever really went at each other, things might get bloody, but as it is, the machine ticks on violently but in sync.
