about

Wandering away from their usual rock-centric approach to psychedelia, Atsuko Chiba present the Quick Infant Guilt double single, a scorching experimental rap diptych to be released on August 20 via Mothland. Parts effect-heavy synthesizers, trafficked string instruments, tightly sampled drum backbeats and electronic whirrings of unknown origins, this represents the band’s first true venture into alternative hip hop to this date. Recorded by Matthew Cerantola at Room 11, and put into images by subversive artists Rodrigo Sergio and Phil Osborne, this crafty sonic oddity should definitely please fans of MF Doom, Run The Jewels or Madlib, while also finding a niche with experimental rock melomaniacs.

lyrics

A ravenous mass attacks
Wrapped in plastic
Hazardous wraps are capped
With material access
Fabrics can’t degrade
Can’t negate the tactics
Arrange the facts
Do whatever pays the handling
Do!
Whatever blame at random
Paced to blow up
Set the trace, dissolve, replace
Recreate
Fees of life, feeds the strife
Pay the piper, they deed in twice
No need in life
Something I really oughta know
Shit I really gotta go
Pick up plight
Pitty self it
Giddy get it
Come on silly, spend it
Don’t be caught up in the city
Busy, busy blending
Cause I thought that I thought this through
Figuring this, this could not be true
But I’m caught up in the middle
Simply moving things a little
Really doing things for real though?
Am I living in my ego?
Am I tripping, am I in the clouds?
Isn’t this the sequel?

Yes, isn’t this the sequel?
Awww shit!
And it's as far as we go

These lines are posthaste
In times of low faith
We lied and lined
Landfills loaded
And no way
There’s no play
Resourceful
Hold it, it’s forceful?
Had you started twenty years ago
We wouldn’t go through
The warming, the storms
Eruptions it’s on
Displaced in a moment
Cracked the token
Broke it hoping
For the flood
The minute march
I conjured up
What’s left
Just ain’t enough
To cover up
So cut it up
Put it aside
Enough’s enough
This toxic feed
Is just a dud
Simplistic spammed
Mean mugged
Fisher price plastic rant
They clap their hands
As we collapse their shares
You’ll see that’s irregular
Point to point
Swing like the pendulum
Breath like the rest of ‘em
Quick!
Was this infant guilt
Spine chiller
With that instant filth

I’m filling up all this time
Thinking that it’s alright
Rigged
This rollercoaster
Rollercoaster
I’m ready up for this ride
Ignore, it’s all fine
Rigged
This rollercoaster
Rollercoaster

Woke up this morning
I feel it growing all the time
All the time
Give up this moment
My fear is growing
All the time
All the time

Atsuko Chiba Montréal, Québec

Montreal’s Atsuko Chiba venturesomely crosses genre-defining borders with a cohesive and hypnotic blend of post-rock, progressive rock, and krautrock, weaving together a rich sonic tapestry that subverts through offbeat songwriting. The psychedelic armada is back with Water, It Feels Like It’s Growing (January 20th, 2023), unearthing a fierce collection of droney, yet bombastic compositions. ... more
