Post-garage duo Thee Dirty Rats, hailing from Sao Paulo, Brazil, channel the gritty nature of one of the world’s largest cities on this LP chock full of lo-fi post-apocalyptic rock and roll. The rhythms are raw and primal, the guitars noisy as all fuck. Lo-fi is putting it mildly. And minimalism seems to be second nature to these two. The arrangements are super-sparse, with the DIY drums and guitar, plus vocals and a “broken” Moog synth being all there is. The lyrics are also reflective of a world gone mad, with songs like “Universe Is Caos,” which has lyrics “The universe is chaos / Stop, you’re making it worse” as the drums pound and the guitar picks out a simple repetitive melodic line. The robotic nature of the song is in direct opposition to the idea of chaos, which is pretty interesting. “Let’s Fight” is a little thicker in the guitar sounds, and is about, well, wanting to fight. “Modern Disease” has a funky bass feel to it, while “Oh Oh” has a great raucous garage rock sound. “Maze of Love” has a bluesy edge to it, “TDR Will Make Dirty For All Ya Girls And Boys” is a too short fun track that channels early Beastie Boys. “Headache” is the most melodic track of the LP, but that’s not saying much for this minimalist duo, since melody is not really their thing. The closer is the brilliant “Stop That Dance,” which, despite its thin arrangement, has a full feel. The contrasting vocals, the mechanical factory beat, and the grating guitars all join forces to create music for the future new stone age. This record isn’t going to be for everyone, but after there’s nothing left of the world or its societies, this is the music that will be left. Drink it up and get used to it. (jerseybeat.com)
