Toxic Lipstick are two chicks from Brisbane, Australia. They sing about shit that matters: boys, shafting acid, poon and slumber parties.
The girls deliver 26 minutes of pubescent rhymes over rave damaged synths and trashcan-like drum machines. The songs are fast, noisy pieces of 8-bit electro thrash filtered through a hot pink lens. Slut Cunt Hairbrush opens the album into the girls hormone drenched world of teencore. Riding high on the BPM?s is the penis frenzied Put It In. Cuntry Lovin? is an electro hoedown paying homage to incest. The longest song on the album at four minutes is Tracey?s Slumba Party, which features such sing-song vocals as: ?I sneak into her brother?s room, And try to seduce him with my hot young poon, I jump on his bed and suck his cock, We have bangin? sex and he cums in is sock.?
Wow, classic!
It?s obvious that time in Japan?s noise/breakcore capital of Osaka has influenced the girls on tracks like the squealing Love Neva Dies and the closing Hormone Megamix.
Listening to Toxic Lipstick is like a frosted cake with sprinkles, you can only take so much before you vomit. Fortunately for the girls, that is just the kind of aesthetic that they make sound so kewl. 7/10 --
