Gone to waste


(Morning Star, Friday 03 October 2008)

ALBUM: Max Tundra, Parallax Error Beheads You
(Domino Records)

EVER get the feeling you're missing something? The third and newest emission from Ben Jacobs - aka Max Tundra - is being hailed as a work of some merit, even being lauded by seasoned music hack Paul Lester as some kind of wonder.

Strange, then, that the album in question is a vastly tuneless affair, with the imprint of someone who got a Casio for Christmas.

In truth, the guy who clearly thinks he is reimagining Radiohead's In Rainbows is actually very aptly named. Parallax Error Beheads You is a musical wasteland with a truly chilling bedrock.
