To try and even describe The Locust is an insurmountable task, and one not even worth really attempting. Think minute-long bursts of unhinged chaos at breakneck speeds with disconerting rhythms, and even that doesn't do it justice. They evolved and changed quickly as a unit, pumping out three full-lengths and a whole wack of other material in just a few short years. For a quick guide, the majority of their discography can be found on the 2012 compilation Molecular Genetics From The Gold Standard Labs. Between that, Plague Soundscapes, New Erections, and their splits with Jenny Piccolo and Man Is The Bastard, you've covered most of your bases. If you're new to them, I'd suggest starting with Plague Soundscapes, and diving further into the rabbit hole from there. Enjoy.

44. #99
the track names aren't a match for Molecular Genetics From The Gold Standards Labs (2012).
ReplyDeletethe download has track 44 as "#99", but the list above track 44 is "keep off the tracks" and "#99" is track 41.
looks like it is a difference in which release you are looking at. worldwide vs US release track ordering is different.
so i guess my question is - which one is correct?
comparing to https://thelocust.bandcamp.com/album/molecular-genetics-from-the-gold-standard-labs
Deleteit sounds like the track list shown in the text here is correct, but the tracks in the download are misnamed
note: its just the last 4 tracks are in a different order. both filenames & mp3 tags need to be fixed
Deletethis blog have help me so much through all those years, I remember it was around 2015 (if I recall correctly) when I was looking for pageninetynine's stuff and then I have found a entire gold mine who helped my building my music taste and somehow help me face some personal demons lol hope the person behind this blog are reading this, thank you so much friend.
ReplyDeleteYou are more than welcome, thank you for continuing to check it out, and I am so glad you were able to find some stuff you liked. A bunch of other blogs did the same thing for me, that's why I wanted to carry that legacy on. Thanks again!
