Part Time Punks PresentsRsenkpf [Wierd Records]Bestial Mouths & Vex RuffinBurning Spirits is the opening track from New York trio Rsenkpf s self-titled debut LP out May 15 on Wierd. The groups day-glo, goth-tinged crust-industrial vibe is reminiscent of now-defunct California trio Kill Me Tomorrows futuristic post-punk junkyard, but this is harsher, darker stuff.Bestial MouthsUnder a churning haze of harrowing vocals, buzzing synths and fitful drumming Los Angeles based Bestial Mouths create a unique sonic space that is at once dissonant and engaging. Drawing from a large base of influences including industrial sound collage, obscure early electronic pieces and experimental works, Bestial Mouths came together in 2009 from a desire to create original music that is foreboding without relying on clich. Christopher Myrick (Synths) and Ebrahim Saleh (Drums) create an unpredictable ground for singer Lynette Cerezo to walk on. Hovering above the clamor, Lynettes haunting, atypical vocal delivery transforms cryptic nightmarish imagery into tightly wound, barely controlled pop.Early in their career frantic live performances combined with a self-released demo captured the attention of DAIS Records, whose catalog includes Cold Cave, COUM Transmission, Robert Turman, aTelecine and Iceage. Bestial Mouths divided their time in 2010 between the road and the studio, recording a split with Blessure Grave and sharing stages with Former Ghost, Soft Kill, Water Borders, Nervous Gender, The Delta Mirror, Soft Metals and Jewels of the Nile.Vex RuffinOn paper Vex Ruffins music is simple: an untrained punk musician who uses a few basic instruments in uncomplicated ways, he calls the style minimalist. Although it may not seem like it upon first listen, Vexs music is rooted in sampling and hip hop beat-making culture. The SP 303 sampler provides the drums and other sounds, a purchase inspired by Madlib.Vex is the first and only artist signed to Stones Throw Records on the strength of an unsolicited demo sent through the mail. Peanut Butter Wolf recalls, It was kind of a fluke that I listened. I just liked the drawing on the cover so I decided to check it out. I called the phone number on the CD and Vex thought I was his friend playing a practical joke.
