Enjoy a pile of very sick records and have a nice weekend. * * * **Fugitive Bubble:** Voices**[Ragdoll]** The new era of Fugitive Bubble has begun. Harley Moore and Kurt Stevens—the band’s core co-writers and vocalists—have recruited Alix from Atomic Prey, Lazer Bullet, and Day Dream on guitar. Kurt has moved from guitar to drums. You don’t need an entire album to tell you that this version of the always-great Olympia band is unbelievable. Opening this six-song tape, they can’t trust the water they drink. Their urgency and restlessness as a band plays the perfect complement to Harley and Kurt’s justifiably paranoid words about how we’re leashed, caged, and poisoned with no way out. It’s anxiety without the burden of fear—movement that’s seemingly unsinkable. _Voices_ is a tape about the concessions we’re all forced to make every single day—how that ties us in mental knots. Their songwriting follows suit—just look at the final stretch where claustrophobic, chaotic, sudden shifts culminate in this wild percussive swing that nears derailment. Kurt’s drumming his ass off, Alix offers this steady power chord chug, Harley takes that motherfucking bass for a walk. Kurt takes the first verse, then Harley takes the second. Their approaches feel entirely distinct, giving the song this trapezoidal quality. There’s always so much going on, like the third track that glues together at least three distinct songs. Loose grooves speed-wind on a dime into this rapid punk jam that somehow never loses the thread. _Voices_ is not just a pivotal document of a great band’s inspired pivot—it’s the clattering of a skull gripped by the madness of being awake right now. * * * ### This post is for subscribers only Become a member to get access to all content Subscribe now
