From a purely aesthetic standpoint, this beautifully designed CD gives
no indication of its contents. Beyond the artwork, however, 13
Minutes is an
extremely intense noise-rock record, matching angular guitars and rhythms
with abrasive male/female vocals. And while the record breezes
past in a mere thirteen minutes (of love and doom), it leaves a
lasting impression. Mathy noise rock is the name of the game,
sort of like Faraquet and Jawbox sent through the
woodchipper of experimental noise rock. This is vicious music,
but it serves a role - thirteen minutes of Struction is like a
massive mind-purge, blasting out all your thoughts and putting you
very much "in the moment." I wouldn't recommend this
for everyone, but it has a unique, brash quality that is pretty
uncommon these days.
