Leather Teeth

As Carpenter Brut, French synth master Franck Hueso unleashes his first studio full-length of (mostly instrumental) throbbing night jams inspired by electronic dance grooves, hip-thrusting disco, and John Carpenter's soundtracks of the '70s and '80s. With the neon triumph of the title track and smooth sax solos of "Sunday Lunch," Hueso revives the pulsing nostalgia of a bygone era. He also enlists Ulver's Kristoffer "Garm" Rygg and Grave Pleasures' Mat "Kvohst" McNerney for some gloriously stentorian vocal accompaniment on "Cheerleader Effect" and "Beware the Beast," respectively.
