Finally, a new deep cut from Melbourne’s visceral post-punk band Total
Control. Typical System, their second LP, was written, recorded, created
over the past two years and is set for US/Worldwide release via Iron Lung
Records on June 24th and self-release in Australia/New Zealand on
June 20th.
LISTEN TO “FLESH WAR” ON BANDCAMP
HERE
Total Control emerged from Australia’s dynamic punk scene in ’08,
releasing a succession of 7”s that developed from an aggressive post-punk band
sound to studio forays into electronic forms from minimal wave to house. Their debut LP, Henge Beat, was commended as one of the few records released in
2011 that evaded the ease of classification and competent tribute act status of
most modern bands.
Subsequently, they have released three very different records: a split
12” with Thee Oh Sees, a 7” single on Sub Pop and a house remix 12”. Typical System develops on the incongruent
demands of their debut LP and ensuing releases, a further development on their
continually evolving sound.
