DOWNLOAD: Tartufi - Dot Dash

Tartufi are a raucous, restless pair. It wanders off down so many side streets that it's hard to classify, but "Dot Dash" - taken from recent album Nests Of Waves And Wire - is atypical post-rock, basically - atypical in the fact that it's not skull-suckingly boring or obsessed with its own prowess. Instead, guitarist/vocalist/pedal-stomper Lynne Angel and drummer Brian Gorman use their powers for good, urging the listener down said side streets, erupting there illicitly with buoyant vocal oddness and soft lilts of metal-petal fret-work. When they're not jamming hard, Angel and Gorman run what's been described by their label Southern as "a rock n' roll school for kids" called Saturday Morning Rock Out - Tartufi could well be a product of their own teaching, injecting staid post-rock formulas with a youthful thirst for kicks.
