Excepter

Yet another of the many side-projects by members of the No Neck Blues Band tribe. Whereas most of these side-projects are often based in free-jazz and beyond free-jazz, Excepter's sound definitely leans more towards electronica. Even though the group claims that their work is danceable party music, this will most likely scare away your guests then make them shake their asses on your living room floor (unless it's from uncontrollable spasm). Admitted there are some songs that have a four/four beat, it is usually accompanied by huge slabs of dirty electronic washes, bleeps and head-scratching melodies which completely destroys the slightest chance of it being danceable. This is probably what electronic dance music might sound like when you're in an advance state of alcohol poisoning; the music sounds slightly off-kilter, the beats strange, the melodies even weirder, and the vocals sound more messy then groovy.

Anyone who is into NNCK should check them out as they are the only ones who actually sound nothing like the NNCK. Some of their earlier efforts are impossible to find now, but on the group's site, you can download some streams and mp3s of exclusive tracks and/or performances.
