AFCGT: Noise and Abbreviations

A music that sports theoretical backing is a confounding thing. There’s not necessarily a way by which to figure that any group of musicians adheres to some strict set of standards unless otherwise noted somewhere. And AFCGT (A-Frames/Climax Golden Twins) don’t seem to be too big on explaining stuff – as well they shouldn’t be.

Regardless, the merger of the two disparate groups a few years back already yielded a self titled disc brimming with genre checks and some perceived avant leanings. Again, there’s not necessarily some rock solid, preconceived stuff propping all of this music up. But when listeners hear the mess of rock and noise splayed out all over the group’s latest disc, most are going to want the key to understanding it all. Read more

Combing some of the backing ideologies that make up the A Frames as well as Climax Golden Twins, the resulting AFCGT is simply well thought out noise. Maybe thought out isn’t the right phrase - this is all guttural, responsive and chaotic. But some of the changes – in meter and key – that the band works out are clearly based on premeditated concepts. What the group does between those shifts, though, might not fit neatly into any sort of traditional notion of song or song craft. Regardless of that, though, what the band cranks out, while not danceable in any situation does have an odd lilting rhythm to it. Read more
