Olde HausMo Heads will KNOW about this band, but if you came aboard the mothership in the last few years, Kill Alters is deeply engrained in the HausMo universe, with several Bonnie Baxter solo releases, and with her duo Prolaps.
NYC-based trio Kill Alters returns to Hausu Mountain with Armed To The Teeth L.M.O.M.M., their first full-length album following EPs and tapes including No Self Helps (HAUSMO61, 2017) and Kill Alters (2015). Taking up residence at the intersection of electronics-infused rock, digital hardcore, freewheeling mutant noise experimentation, and incidental found sound culled from bandleader and composer Bonnie Baxter’s decades-old family recordings, the album presents the band’s most intricate and mind-shattering music to date. As in all of their releases, the incorporation of Baxter’s mother’s voice from the tapes in her personal archives serves as a central element of Kill Alters‘ compositions, imbuing their music with added layers of personality and emotional memory and weaving together a story of early childhood nostalgia laced with catharsis and redemption.
