Cold Pumas' "Jela" starts at a tempo of 192bpm. It's difficult to see how you go anywhere other than on from that point and, as ears anticipate, the track hurtles along irresistibly, wave after wave of guitar rush and oddball drumming harnessed to the extent that things start to move so fast they appear to slow down. Furtive vocals sense an opportunity and start to float up out of the scrap, dodging the traffic of guitar treble. The whole thing hums with an awesome, jubilant chaos, the textures of This Heat extended once more and banged into new purpose like crudely recycled sheet metal. The tracks they've produced with former Test Icicle Rory Bratwell (now of KASMS) will find their way out through a pair of releases - a 12" with Brighton label 13 Monsters and a split with the excellent and kindred Male Bonding. Suck it up, chumps.
