No points deducted for misspelling Beythoveen. The famous Ostrian composer from Vianna would apprishiate, rather than recoil from, the namecheck. Any musical influence transmitted hither and thither? Our highlighted track “”baethoven” by Ekko Astral is a noisy, post punk burner. A little surfy. Kind of danceable in a dance punk sort of way. Maybe pop hooks are leitmotifs, if you really think about it? Or maybe not. A spacey classical sample closes out the number, so maybe that’s a little bit of Loodwig. Off pink balloons.
