The Radio Sessions: Bestial Mouths
# The Radio Sessions: Bestial Mouths We're just going to come out and say it: this is the best Radio Session. *Really.* The one with [The Orb][1] was cool. The show with EB editors [Louise and Daniel][2] was fun. But this... this is the best. No bombast; it just *is*. **[Bestial Mouths][3]** create some of the most powerful post-punk we've heard in years, but their sound goes beyond the simple definitions of labels: here you'll find pure emotion, sonic chaos given aural form through banshee synths, pounding percussion and Lynette Cerezo's soul-rending vocals. Their debut LP Hissing Veil is a perfectly arranged* *medley of the darkest of sounds: heavily tribal without being primitive, gothic with none of the dulled subcultural stigmata, industrial in ways that echo their West Coast synthpunk influences. Their recent [live cassette][4] shows just how strong they've made themselves since their earliest incarnation as [SWFT WNGS][5]. While on the air with us, they discussed their recent European tour with [Animal Bodies][6] (another highly recommended group) as well as the challenges of updating the idealism of goth---while leaving tired cliches in the dust. Listen to the whole radio show tonight on FluxFM**, **starting at 10pm (CET). Tune in through terrestrial radio or, if you're outside Germany, head to the [stream][7]. If you missed it (and shame on *you*) then you catch up with the first hour through FluxFM's on demand feature on Friday. We'll be posting their Radio Mix in a few days as well, and we can't wait to hear the sounds they have for us.
