A Billion Goats, A Billion Sparks, Fin is the latest album by Brighton based Auzzie Dez Dare, it's the latest instalment in his series of psychedelic deranged pop albums for the 2020's. This keeps things well out there as Dez continues his quest to be known as one of the premier one man bands of the 2020's.
The album opens with Got A Fire In My Socket that has a steady beat with synth and guitar interjections as Dez tells us about the voices in his head, everything is tangled up, confusion that can only be dealt with by scorched earth cleansing.
Matter v Matter pits Grahame Green against a solid riff, clattering drums as all sorts of questions fire at us, making us wonder about the modern world's multi-purpose madness, with the seemingly endless desire to smash it all up, no matter what it costs.
10,000 monkeys + An Argument With Time is a brilliant song title that this loose louche Casio infested synth pop tune almost lives up too, as he seems to have found an 80's games console that still works, as it tries to kick us into the void once more.
No One Wants To Hear It might refer to the super squelchy bass, or the annihilation intent drumming, as visions of distorted realities impinge on our core senses, derangement guaranteed by this distorted reality musical mayhem.
Gotta Cold Feeling is the cold hard facts about the destitute morality of the 2020's, buzzing guitar bombardment of oddly off kilter percussion with synth abstractions to chill your brain in a suitable fashion.
Entangled Entropy is down tuned disco mauling's apologizing for the frozen state of perpetual entropy Dez finds himself in.
Call My City, Don't Call My Telephone is a great concept, anything to stop the mindless calls, as the disruptive guitars batter your brain, Dez is despairing at the calls he's been fielding lately. So leave Dez alone and bother the idiots running the city instead, so he can keep battling the rampaging guitars and fuzz boxes instead.
Josephine Says Explode is a full-on Wigg out, with a light keyboard line before the perfectly disastrous guitar rage takes over, as Dex tries to figure out how to put Josephine back together again.
Schrodinger's Apocalypse takes the collapse of normality, as the world turns to hell, all the old truths become lies, we are left floundering in a world where up is down and right is left, who knows the way forwards, apart from Dez making his weird out music, becoming mainstream pop by 2025.
The Elasticity Of Knowing grabs your brain, stretching the synapses, as the bass drills your brain out, before the instrumental freak out stretches and mutates sound, before the vocals come back in to re-arrange your reality once more, accept the mantra and move into the new era with Dez.
The album closes with A Billion Voices Screaming, Hello Void! In total despair at how the world ended up in such a mess, let those synths explode, smash though the walls of inertia, scream so loudly they must hear you and change direction, let the doom-laden riffs pull you from the torpor and scream along with Dez, unless you have a better solution that is.
