The caps-lock challenged ctraltdelete are from the musical wasteland that is Carlisle. Geographically, this puts them closer to the bustling music metropolis of Glasgow than almost all of its English counterparts and it certainly shows. Well, one particular band anyway. See if you can guess who from these clues: long, rumbling guitar-laden instrumentals with unspeakably pretentious titles like Each Of These Innocents On The Street Is Engulfed By A Terror Of Their Own Ordinariness and All Our Greatest Moments Are In Sepia.
Christ, if they were any more derivative, they would’ve called themselves Waimog. Fortunately for all concerned I’ve always been rather partial to Mogwai, and ctraltdelete make a powerful, brooding noise worthy of Stuart Braithwaite and co in the halcyon days before they became soft as shite (and, no, of course I wouldn’t say that to his face; he’s not bloody tall enough). Strangely enough, whilst listening to this EP for the first time, I was overcome with the urge to attempt and complete my first ever Sudoku. Go figure.
