Chimers — Through Today (12XU/Poison City)

Chimers erupt with a furious roar, guitar and drums flailing wildly in full-speed, full-body motion. The single “3AM” from the second full-length, clangs, pummels, and dreams, the vocals going dim and droney above the tumult. A guitar-and-drum duo, the Australian band, churns up a wake of turbulence soothed over by psychedelic bliss. It’s like the Japandroids crossed with Salad Boys, like Kinski towed at 70 m.p.h. on waterskis, like FACS, but faster, thumpier and less artfully complicated.

The band came together during pandemic isolation in 2020, the general loneliness amplified by the band’s remote Wollongong location. Padraic Skehan and his partner Binx were both drummers—perhaps a hint at how Chimers’ driving, propulsive sound evolved—but Skehan switched to guitar and voice. A self-titled album emerged in 2021, and as the COVID receded, Chimers took its body-pulping assault to the public, earning something like cult status. Henry Rollins is a fan. Junkee.com called their debut "One of the strongest Australian rock records of the year.”

Now, the follow-up comes on 12XU in America (and Poison City in Australia), a bold, rapturously noisy onslaught of head-battering percussion, razor-sharp strumming and singing like a smoke mirage disappearing in your hands. Ten songs in half an hour, no breaks, no divergences, no filler.

“Generator” blares a sort of sweetness, its massive guitar sounds lurching in tuneful directions while drum fills go off like firecrackers on a string. It’s this one, with its yearning, dissolving lyrics embedded in blistering guitar tone, which makes the Hüsker Dü comparisons seem right. “Gossip” ramps up a lyrical spray of electric guitar into serrated, stop-start menace, while “Glossary” flirts with post-rock introspection before putting the hammer down.

“An Echo” seems, at first, like a restful interlude. All lucid guitar clarity and a pulse like drum, it takes on the oceanic pull of the Dirty 3. A violin (Jordan Ireland) moves in and about Binx’s airy croon. And yet, even at slower speeds with less frenetic drumming, Chimers play with intensity. A wild caterwaul scrawls across limpid surfaces, quiet but still unruly.

Chimeri-quey / Кимеры-квей

Chimeri-quey is one of the breakaway branches of the kimery. They know only that they live (or have lived) on the Islands of Cathnoquey.

History

There is almost no information about the history of the chimeri-quey. Perhaps, like the Cantemiric Velothi, they broke away from their brethren and left them for the East. It is known that the chimeri-quey existed even in the time of Emperor Uriel Septim V. They probably still live in the archipelago.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Кимеры-квей (ориг. Chimeri-quey) — одна из отколовшихся ветвей кимеров. О них известно только то, что они обитают (или обитали) на островах Катноквей.

История

Об истории кимеров-квей почти нет сведений. Возможно, как и кантемирские велоти, они откололись от своих собратьев и покинули их, отправившись на восток. Известно, что кимеры-квей существовали даже во времена императора Уриэля Септима V. Вероятно, они всё ещё живут на архипелаге.

Preorder new LP’s from The Hobknobs, The Sleeves, You-On, a very limited FACS/Chimers tour 7” and there’s a putting-the-lit-in-litany bunch of new titles from Lupo Cittá, Rump State, Winged Wheel, there’s Water Damage restocks, there’s the sprawling catalog…fuck, it’s all too much. I’m overwhelmed. Never mind. Go somewhere else https://wwww.12XUrecs.bandcamp.com
