[FOEM] [RRR094] Tropical Australian Stinger Research Unit - Grapefruit Einstellungen

[TB-team]

This two track offering is the latest release from Minnesota’s TASRU. The brainchild behind this project, a certain Thomas O’Neill Grathwol said that he didn’t want to wait for an entire album to be ready before putting something new out on Rack & Ruin… and boy are we thankful!


If the title track “Grapefruit Gun” is anything to go by, then his as-yet-untitled next album is going to be one to look out for! The distinctive TASRU qualities are still there, obscure film dialogue, foot tapping beats, and a tune that will stick in your head, and have you whistling along to in no time. The “B side” is a tweaked out remix of a new song called “The Stranger”.


Grathwol’s DIY ethic is still there in abundance, however, these two tracks seem to have the polish to take them to a newer level. A recent review likened his previous offering “An F in Health” to an early Baby Bird record, which did seem to be a fitting description to that album. “An F in Health” was full of ideas, outtakes, and was a precursor for what was to come. Well, what was waiting in the wings has now arrived.
