Kletka Red, Hybrid (CD)

A very strange hybrid of Gypsy songs and Touch n Go style (early/mid-90s) heavy rock, and a fairly confusing, diverse record. Parts really emphasize the fragile folk song elements, parts are remarkable freakouts, and parts sound like fairly straightforward heavy rock. The recording has a distinct Albini influence (Jesus Lizard/Shellac style, though Hybrid did not come out until 2000), though the mastering at times emphasizes sub-bass as if it were a techno record. Andy Moor from the Ex contributes some fantastic and creative lead guitar.
