about

Singular Texan musician Craig Clouse hurtles unstoppably towards the 20th birthday of his dancefloor-splintering electronic project Shit And Shine, releasing a landmark LP, his first full-length for The state51 Conspiracy, ‘2222 And AIRPORT’. Acid house, minimal techno, electro, funk, krautrock, hip hop, found sound, spoken word, live percussion and industrial are blown apart stupendously and then reassembled – mad-scientist style, in a way peculiar to Clouse – into 13 hypnotic and transportative tracks.

Lead single SWISS, out 24 March, is a gloriously minimalist funk jam that sounds like the exact point at which someone turns the lights off at a lowkey house party and a wild night for the ages gets under way. An almost scornfully skeletal riff, sounding like a misfiring Cyberdine Systems Model 101 summoning up a Prince circa Sign “O” The Times riff while crashing head first into the hyper-processed early work of Prefuse 73, also featuring a cheeky sample of revered Mancunian DJ Luke Una talking about “existential fucking darkness”.

This is followed on 4 April by INFINITE SHITE, arguably the epic central track to the album, is a Shit And Shine banger for the ages, its dancefloor affect, undeniable. An unforgiving, pulsating Byetone-style bass drone worthy itself of being blasted on a Funktion-One rig, is just the background for a colossal acid b-line, destroying all in its path.

Micro details bristle at the liminal level, threatening to only reveal themselves to those in a club, those listening on headphones or those experiencing a heightened sensory state.
Now almost two decades in the game, Shit & Shine presents another total riot of deranged, unhinged, demented, hooligan brown acid and uncompromising, absurd, mind-frying blobtronics. If fellow Texans The Butthole Surfers had been making techno instead of psychedelic noise punk, it might have sounded something like the ectoplasmic goop of '2222 and AIRPORT'.
Industrial cowboy $&$ goes ham on a batch of body-gurning oddities

‘2222 and AIRPORT’ manifests a touring artist’s gripes about international travel in a baker’s dozen gobs of distended techno and slurred swag typically peppered with gonzo recordings of UK and US oiks. This is some of $hit & $hine’s slipperiest, wriggling out of any descriptive lassos on a joyride between the squashed step of ‘Swiss’ recalling NHK and glitchy Planet Mu, thru to the baked electro-dub abstraction ‘Dirt Bike’ and club-swilling slow techno on ‘Infinite Shite’.

Longtime acolytes of the band will devour the signature grot of ‘Ten Four Cheese Whopper’, and get their trot on to the reviving industrial stepper ‘Rewower’, and get bits in their teeth after gnawing on ‘Buzzard Back Tree’. All a solid prompt to go catch him in unpredictable action at a basement near you.
