Chuckle

Chuckle

Grungy, angular fuzz from South London - proper grim, claustrophobic stuff that feels completelyĀ in tune with the country’s suffocating descent into fascism.
The second EP from Leisha Thomas under the Alpha Maid moniker, ā€œCHUCKLEā€ is nowhere near asĀ upbeat as the title might suggest. Grey and overcast, it ties together crunchy Slint-adjacent postrawk technicality with the DIY grit of ā€˜90s Seattle, but roots everything in contemporary London.
Thomas’s vocals lash out with range: sometimes a disquieting snarl, sometimes a pleasing,
echoing hum, but always entrancing.
There’s an eccentric spirit that recalls This Heat in Thomas’s disregard for stasis or formality.Ā She pieces the record together like a sketchbook, cutting-and-pasting samples and editing herĀ instrumentation with gleeful anarchy. It’s rock music, just about, but charged with South London’sĀ hybrid energy and a distinctly British sense of socio-political unease.
