With a basis consisting of numerous Res Rocket-fuelled net-jams and a wide collection of esoteric samples, Norwegian lo-fi schizo-house pioneers Nood serve up a strange brew on their dBut-released album "Shaped like a taco". Contorted and twisted vocal sounds intertwine with carefully crafted and distorted beats & pieces. Here and there beautiful melodic passages lurk under layers of rhythm and sound; surfacing with stunning results. Lacking any parallel at the blossoming Oslo scene, Nood's original knob-twisters Per Platou and Ulf Knudsen indulge in a schizophrenic feast with infectious grooves and quirky vocal snippets as the main courses. Utilising the Net's potential to it's full extent, the duo has refined Res Rocket jams comprising more than thirty contributors - the end result being a highly unique blend of organic and technological elements. Both live musicians and slightly more digital performers perform side-a-side giving this album a truly unique feeling.
