Money: Punk Demo 7″

Description

With several digital singles in recent years, the Bristol-based trio MNEY returns in 2023 to kick us in the face in sound format with 5 songs in which they dare to mix seemingly impossible sounds with an exceptional result. To begin with, the effect and sound of the guitar is typical of the current new eggpunk wave but with more melodious compositions and closer to postpunk with a wave of darkness and a new olero aftertaste, but at the same time all of this watered with a strong influence of Iberian punk. from the 80s in some of their songs. Yes, this combination sounds difficult to digest, but once you immerse yourself in Mney and his punk demo it is very difficult to get out.
Limited edition of 300 copies with 2-color silk-screened cover, including insert with lyrics printed with 2-color risography.

This album was recorded at our shed in May 2022 by Pablo Hass, Chicken Attack Records and Mney. Mixed by Chicken Attack Records and Mney with a lot of advice by Mne Disnoize (Impacto Sonico). Mastered by Chicken Attack and Pablo Hass. Artwork by Chicken Attack Records, Mney and Poder Adolescente.

This album represents the decline of Western culture as new ideas have been restricted; our only solution is to borrow ideas from the past. Tape Machine, Chorus, Saturation and Delay. Play loud and hate Neoliberalism.

Our take: Spains Discos Enfermos brings us the debut vinyl from this Bristol, UK punk group who has been banging out digital releases for a couple of years. When I checked out Mney, my first reaction was that they sound a lot like Londons Powerplant, particularly their soupy, underwater-sounding production style. As with Powerplant, it was difficult for my ear to make sense of Punk Demo at first, but repeated listens allowed me to parse the chaotic (but legible) knot of sound. The lyrics are split between English and Spanish, and for whatever reason the two Spanish-language tracks, El Este and La Culpa are the standouts for me, perhaps because they embody the polarities of Moneys sound. El Este is Mney at their fastest and most furious, while La Culpa finds them at their slowest boil, recalling (as the label notes) 80s Spanish post-punk like Paralisis Permanente. Unique, compelling stuff that gives more back the more attention you give it.
