Loosers na Arthur

Arhtur Magazine, nº 18, Novembro de 2005. Na coluna habitualmente assinada por Byron Coley e Thurston Moore, fala-se de Loosers:

Our knowledge of the Portuguese underground is not what it should be, we admit it. But it just got a little better, with the arrival of two records by the Loosers. Not that there's much findable info at hand, but the sounds themselves are sweet. A trio, the Loosers do a surprising number of things at once. Their basic focus is art-damaged power-pus, but they do it in a variety of ways, recalling everyone from Sonic Youth to Jackie O Motherfucker at various times. Their first LP is For All the Round Suns (Ruby Red) and it is a pretty wonderful blend of several generations of underground nonsense - from Birthday Party to NNCK to My Cat Is An Alien - and could easily be the best new CDR from Brooklyn this week, if you know what we mean. But it's a dandy looking LP and that ain't hay. Nor is their second LP, Slugs (Ruby Red), although it is not quite as overloaded with sheer idea-wattage, taking more the form of debased prog-grope excursions onto the ramp of the ringed percussive o-mind. It's a nice trip, with flutes and toots up the old wazoot. Why they only pressed 100 is anyone's guess.
