Ink 19
Neutral Mute
Roc-Sac
Run-Roc
In just seventeen hot minutes, D. McNany scrapes, scowls and swings his way through the seven tracks on his Roc-Sac EP. The co-owner of NYC-based Run-Roc and the driving force behind Neutral Mute parlays the synth-led fury of Suicide, the chugging Kraut explorations of Faust and Neu! and the raw electro-pop of The Normal into a no-frills digital-punk set.
Choose any song randomly, from the garage-driven "Doo-Right" to the crunchy rockabilly ramble of the title track, and you'll be greeted with McNany's wiry, nerve-wracked impulse...not that that's necessarily a bad thing. Even with all his haphazard tendencies, McNany is still able to show restraint. "King Killer (Drug-Dub)," with its languid beats, spiraling bass lines and jagged building guitars, explores the sleaze and sin of intoxication with frazzled sympathy. "No No No" closes at the quarter-hour with a Can-like meditation that teases with subtle straight-beat thumps and subdued bass thunks.
Beneath the uninspired din of Brooklyn's Williamsburg contingent and NYC's other hipster enclaves lies the sinister swagger of Neutral Mute and its Run-Roc ilk. The label's emergence is validated by better music, and in the era of The Strokes and a million other knockoffs, that's more than we can ask for.
ROC-SAC is the debut EP by Neutral Mute, aka D. McNany. Ranging from restless electronic punk to twitchy insomniac dub, the EP packs an alarming amount of nervous energy into its 14 minute duration. Frenetic rave-ups "Doo Right" and "Puls-Sac" set the pace, but "No No No" is the highlight. The song bears a slight resemblance to Faust's classic Krautrock ballad "Jennifer," but with an insistent, thumping one-note bass line which gives the song a manic gone-off-its-meds edge.
Neutral Mute comes to life on stage as a power trio courtesy of revolving members of the Run-Roc family which include Gerhardt Fuchs (Turing Machine) and Lance Carter (Bill Laswell/Sonny Sharrock) on drums.
This is Neutral Mute and Run-Roc's first record to be issued digitally, which is appropriate given that Neutral Mute's first 7" was the inaugural release on the label back in 2002. Since then, Run-Roc has emerged as Manhattan's most promising new label. [run-roc.com]
Run-Roc is operated by D. McNany and DaveZero. Currently recording demos for the Rapture’s new album, Run-Roc’s recent production work includes SKISM’s Virus EP and fourthcoming Run-Roc release for 90’s cult luminary Jonathan Vance.
