Borg 64 - Anywhere But Here
To
be honest, the only reason I decided to look at Borg 64 is because I’m a die-hard
Trekkie and I figured with Borg in the name it’s gotta be good. I opened up the
promo materials and saw a song entitled "Late Night at Quarks". WIN! Borg 64 are
from Sweden and they’ve been absent from the musical world for about seven
years. They have re-emerged with a 4 song 12 minute mind fuck entitled Anywhere
But Here released on Discouraged Records.
"Late
Night At Quarks" didn’t disappoint. It’s part South Park, part Ministry, part
Atari, all good. The 10” closes with a jaunty tome dedicated to their hometown of
Lulea. The song is the most straight ahead composition of the four on Anywhere
But Here. I was thoroughly entertained and enthralled by Anywhere But Here.
Anywhere
But Here is not for the casual punk rock fan. Nor is it for the staunch dub
step electronica fan. You have to be a special kind of crazy to like this. I am
that kind of crazy. Sven Engdahl Hamilton, Fredrik “Buffy” Johansson, and
Markus Wanler put together something totally cool. There is nothing quite like
it on the market today.
