With the mellifluous voices of Jenny Bellestar and Sapphira Vee folded into the expansive mix, DOGTABLETвЂ™s Feathers &В SkinВ is the sound track of heartbreak and laughing catharsis dancing hand-in-hand at the end of the world. Influenced by the pioneers of the industrial genre, such as Throbbing Gristle, Chemlab mixed experimental sounds with rock and metal within an electronic framework. in 1989 by Dylan Thomas More, Joe Frank, and Jared Louche (then known as Hendrickson). Jared Louche, front man for Machine Rock band CHEMLAB, sings, croons, whispers and shouts throughout much of Feather And Skin, stretching the boundaries of the music even further with his whiskey-soaked, Bukowski-Waits-Burroughs delivery.ДЇrom вЂњShadowlandsвЂќ, the opening trackвЂ™s piano-infused funereal ache, through the body-positivity chants of вЂњSkin JobвЂќ urging you out onto the sweaty dance floor, straight through to the profoundly unnerving closing song вЂњBlack HoundвЂќ, DOGTABLETвЂ™s sound blurs futurist with retro, electronic dance with experimental ambient, creating a mixture so unsettlingly broad that it defies easy characterization. Chemlab is an American industrial rock band formed in Washington D.C. By turns lushly intimate and brashly sweaty, Martin King and Roberto SoaveвЂ™s programming sweeps from delicate to darkly hypnotic, groove-drenched and disturbed, confidently cycling from threatening to comforting without missing a beat. Their aching yet driving sounds are never more effective than on their third album, the newly-released FEATHERS & SKIN. Add dashes of THE CUREВ and some BEAT GENERATIONВ ghost voices and youвЂ™d naturally come out with a directionless howl of meaningless cacophony.ДOGTABLETвЂ™s sound is a rich mixture of thrumming yet down-tempo grooves that nestle comfortably next to luxurious, grey-skied soundscapes. Combine the people involved in Industrial agit-noise disruptors TEST DEPARTMENTВ with the baroque-goth figures SHELLEYANВ ORPHANВ as well as the machine rockвЂ™nвЂ™roll pioneers CHEMLAB.

For fans of: Coil, Portishead, Pink Floyd, Underworld, BauhausДOGTABLETвЂ™s individual parts all make sense onВ their own, but together they should not.
