Our Rating:
Advisory - do not attempt to twerk to this record!

Electric Würms is a side-project of Wayne Coyne and Steven Drozd. The Okies from The Flaming Lips claim to have communed with spaceships of the 1970s and recruited four members of a young Nashville prog-punk band named Linear Downfall to share their newfound sonic wisdom.

The opener, I Could Only See Clouds, is the keynote track with a zig-zaggy Can-style loop over which Drozd sings higher registers than Coyne can reach.

Futuristic Hallucination locks into a spacey hypnotic groove while The Bat is a sub-hop death blues song loosely inspired by the experience of rescuing a drowning bat from a swimming pool.

On Living, a pulsating drum machine creates a backbeat to a nonsense poem about reincarnation. Banshee wails turn Transform!!! into boogie freak rock pure and simple and the trip concludes with Heart Of The Sunrise where similarities to the track by Yes are entirely intentional.

With the right kind of acid, Musik, Die Schwer Zu Twerk will sound like a work of genius.

Stone cold sober, you will hear a bunch of intelligent but self indulgent jams that either hit the mark or disappear down deep black wormholes where pre-punk post-prog krautrockers go to die.
