NEUTRAL MUTE - ROC-SAC EP

ROC-SAC is the debut EP by Neutral Mute, aka D. McNany. Ranging from restless electro-punk to twitchy insomniac dub, the EP packs an alarming amount of nervous energy into its 14 minute duration. Frenetic rave-ups "Doo-Right" and "Puls-Sac" set the pace, but "No No No" is the highlight.
The song bears a slight resemblence to Faust's classic Krautrock ballad
"Jennifer," but with an insistent, thumping one-note bassline which gives the song a manic gone-off-its-meds edge.

The ROC-SAC EP was written, performed, and recorded by D. McNany but he performs the songs live with a three piece band. As Neutral Mute, McNany blurs the lines which separate punk rock, electronic music, and DJ culture, resulting in a unique, unclassifiable hybrid sound all his own.

This is Neutral Mute and Run-Roc's first record to be issued digitally, whichis appropriate given that Neutral Mute's very first 7" was the inaugural release on the label back in 2002. Since then, Run-Roc has emerged as one of Manhattan's most promising new labels for adventurous punk and electronica.

The ROC-SAC EP will be available in stores on March 8, 2005.
