Static Shock we love you. Last year you put out the Cold Meat EP in Europe and now you are giving us the new Uranium Club album? Oh yes. Together with Fashionable Idiots (who released their previous records), they’ve pressed the new LP, called The Cosmo Cleaners, on black and blue vinyl (sorry that one is already sold out). I was hooked from the first few seconds of “Flashback Arrestor” which makes me think of Indiana groups like The Coneheads and C.C.T.V.. But for the most part, The Uranium Club of Minneapolis are still fairly inimitable. On the sprawling, 10-minute “Interview With The Cosmo Cleaners” they present a unique mix of Sonic Youth-style spoken word with 80s Flying Nun vibes. These punks have intellect.
