Chiptune’s greatest and most prolific horrorpunkster ‘+Let’s
Disinfect!+’ is gracing TWG with a self-titled album, three years in the
making, and his usual bouts of anthemic chippunk.
Continuing our tradition of showcasing chiptune with
experimental or ‘out of the ordinary’ applications, Sean Monistat, aka +Let’s
Disinfect!+, produces his most diverse album yet. Whilst tracks like ‘My Life
Hurts’ and the title track delve into that familiar upbeat +LD!+ sound, this debut
full-length sees an expansion of Let’s Disinfect’s repertoire, drawing on
post-punk sounds on ‘Melted Ice Cream’, prog metal meanderings in ‘A Garden of
Mutants’ and nods to chipthrash in ‘Buy My Lawnmower!’. This all adds up to the
most diverse Let’s Disinfect release to date.
As with most releases here on TWG, ‘+Let’s Disinfect!+’ is a
grower, and repeat listens will let those punk pop-lined hooks dig only deeper into
the brain, until every single lyric is engraved into natural impulse. And if
the adhesive motifs weren't enough, the vibrancy of textures and styles coated
with that trademark ‘less-is-more’ chip (in this case DS) programming and
crowd-chanting shouts of frontman Sean leave this release in the stratosphere
when comparing it to vocal/chip albums of the past. From the plodding
determination of ‘Contact!’ to the ferocious outburst of the title track, Let’s
Disinfect! continues to cement himself as an essential forward thinker within
an often saturated scene, and an extremely talented one at that.
