Snog cement their place as Australia's premier seditious music act with an album of dark brooding music fit for the end of civilisation itself - or at least a serious Q and A session on where we're headed.
Every couple of months in Australia it seems we have to read another weekend broadsheet whinge about there not being any real protest music in this generation - not like the 60s, y'know - yet for over 15 years David Thrussell and his band Snog have managed to annoy everyone from the CIA to McDonalds to Kerry Packer in their dark, brooding music, playfully hopping between polemic and p*sstake in afflicting the comfortable and taking the mickey out of the Establishment.
Thrussell has a trident of talent that incorporates a) his electronic music with Snog, and other acts; b) his soundtrack work for movies such as Angst, The Hard Word and Thunderstruck, and c) re-issuing extraordinary and unique country and bluegrass music from the likes of Jimmy Driftwood, Porter Wagoner, Norma Jean and others.
Snog, while ostensibly an electronic music act, have more in common with rock bands than any faceless producer making music that sounds like a cutlery drawer being emptied; the dark synth tones and guitar lines draw comparisons to the likes of Gary Numan, Depeche Mode and KMFDM, while being infinitely more listenable than any of those. Lyrically, there's nothing like this - a cross between the vocal stylings of Lee Hazelwood and John Laws (!) with the intensity of Noam Chomsky (without the pages of footnotes), as distilled through a 21st century version of Ned Ludd, peering closely at what technology and modern industrialism has done for/to our lives.
When Snog choose to indulge their dark side, they go all the way - a slow dance number for the apocalypse upon the title track; up-tempo crunchy guitars and beats for Lost At Sea where a decade-by-decade comparison of visionless economic and social management gets packaged into a handy little radio/dancefloor-friendly tune with a catchy chorus.
It's when Thrussell and co focus their collective jaundiced eye upon their own country that it gets truly confronting; Go To Sleep (Little Australia) is Thrussell at his most menacing and direct - patronising and poking at his countrymen and women for their apathy over the direction of their nation and its values. The dearly departed Kerry Packer gets lined up for a serve upon The Billionaire's Bullsh*t Machine, while the Australian version of this album finishes with an acoustic number, a late-night giggle-infected tune entitled Uncle Rupert, melodically linked to I Started a Joke but lyrically a nudge-nudge wink-wink lament about a man prisoner to massive amounts of money and its attendant power games...
It may be the end of the world as we know it, but Snog intend to poke fun all the way down. ~ by Jarrod Watt
