REVIEW: Derealization, Tazer

Written by David Sinho

‘Derealization’ is the debut single by Tazer, a band by Taylor Waller, Max White and Dan Francis-Jones. The group is fronted by the character of Tazer (personified by Waller) created by Waller, White and Francis-Jones to “express the purest form [of] chaos and techno.”

The track grips you with a lively drumbeat of robotic precision and doesn’t let go. For the next 2 minutes, 45 seconds Tazer shows off their skill of seamlessly flowing back and forth between tempo changes.

"The group is fronted by the character of Tazer (personified by Waller) created by Waller, White and Francis-Jones to “express the purest form [of] chaos and techno.”"

The music is both lushly angelic and claustrophobic at the same time making a very unique and distinct sound that compliments the haunting, hypnotic vocal style of Waller.

Bearing in mind that this is their debut single, we have definitely not heard the last of Tazer; they have certainly set the bar very high and I certainly can’t wait to see what’s next.

Review: PEACH’s Self-Titled Debut Album

PEACH’s self-titled album is remarkably cohesive for a debut, in part because it isn’t really one. The Bristol-based punk foursome each boast years of experience in past projects, and as PEACH they have already begun to make a name for themselves in the local scene.

A true story, the film follows Roger Sharpe (played by Mike Faist), as he negotiates his love affair with pinball in a city where it's illegal under gambling laws, and how that 35-year ban was overturned.
