"We at 20jazzfunkgreats like to tread those fuzzy areas between what you can call (proper) indie and avant garde (whatever), Artrocker would be the 'pop' extreme and Wire the 'leftfield' one. We get lost in the edges, where things get messy and interesting, we like fucked up noises we can groove to and noisy grooves we can get fucked up to. Almost all the bands we have posted so far, from Mu to Metalux, from Vitalic to Lightning Bolt, fall inside that slightly weird twilight zone. And when they don't, hey, it's a surprise! Surprises are good, they kick mankind's ass off local optima.

Ex Models are one example of the sort of band we like, they should be the poster-boys of the disco-punk generation, they could sweep the floor with any of those nu-britpop muppets who churn disco basslines like dogs taking a shit in a cold day...

...but they don't want to and we don't need them to. Their noise is too noisy, they love no wave too much, the Devolutionist yelling is too strident for the radio or the TV. They rock too much. Watchacallit?

Not Emo!!

In their new album, Chrome Panthers, out soon in the ever-excellent Troubleman label, it's none other than Kid Millions, from another of our favouritest bands ever, Oneida (beautiful new site btw), the one in charge of handling drumming operations, and kid does it show, just check the exhilarating pyrotechnic finale of the track we are posting today, Chrome Hearts, it wouldn't be out of place in Each One Teach One, Oneida's maximum krautdronepsychoexcursion watchacallit?

Not Paul Weller!

A demolition derby of the soul, the guns of navarone are down, what's next? Buy the album for the full psychemongoloid tour, it's gonna be at the top of my list of the year! Don't believe me? Listen to another song at their Myspace spot. Whatchacallit?

RAURGHHHH!!!!"

"Oneida's Kid Millions guests on the new LP by Ex Models. Dunno if that's the reason that Chrome Panthers is such a lovely chalice of prog-raunch agression, but it's a possibility."
-- Byron Coley/Thurston Moore, Arthur

"This truly is the bastard child of The Velvet Underground circa mid sections of Sister Ray and White Light White Heat and most contemporarily related to the second LIARS incarnation. You remember those industrial techno tracks that made you finally turn John Peel's show off, Ex Models blow those guys clean out of their avant garde pants with this. The unrelenting taped pound actually released our two guitarists to innovate and extend tracks as they wished, rather than limit things in preset arrangements. Once again Ex Models set jaws dropping by reinventing themselves and challenging us again. The peaks reached during this set actually surpassed the standard set by the previous extraordinary Ex Models. See them."
-- Paul Cox, Artrocker UK / co-founder Too Pure Records

"After going underground for a spell, Ex Models reemerge with Oneida's Kid Millions on drums and a batch of fucking severe--think early Neubauten, early DNA, early Cop Shoot Cop, early presence of life on earth-- that sort of desperation... Forget what you know about this band--it's taken a sharp left into the severe."
-- Mike Wolf, TimeOut NY

"Right from the get-go, this offering from art rockers Ex Models reestablishes that they are not here to deliver a finely crafted, well-polished piece of work that will tickle the senses and delight the ears. On the contrary, with Chrome Panthers they have decided to deliver a sonic onslaught to shred your inner ear with the audio equivalent of a razor blade. Imagine the Go Team if they had developed a serious addiction to methamphetamines and decided to make a project's worth of material about how much they wanted to assassinate someone and you will get the general gist of the production values at hand here, as well as a reasonable profile of the group's state of mind. Many of the songs rely on long episodes of repetition and tension-building before releasing it all into a series of shrieks and indecipherable howls that come close to replicating the formulas found on earlier records. It may seem like a bunch of dudes getting drunk and rocking out in their parents' basement as they record demos, but the musicianship is complex and top-notch. Clocking in at 27 minutes, it's their longest offering to date and almost perfectly timed; any more and it would have disintegrated into pretentious noise, and any less would leave a feeling of incompleteness."--All Music Guide

Praise for Zoo Psychology

Did you ever see Bela Tarr's brilliant film The Werckmeister Harmonies, which was (generally) about the peace and clarity possible after the total destruction of everything? Yeah, well, this is sorta like that. Ex Models are only happy after all pretense of calm has been shattered, bashed, kicked in, crumbled, and twisted 'round their heads like a helicopter. They sound like they're vandalizing something, or about to, or just building up the courage to go balls-to-the-wall loco. That this band can be utterly in sync and on the pants-peeing edge at once, plus presenting entire philosophical and mathematical principles under the guise of sexually charged, aggressive post-punk, while still having enough humor to title their problems "Hey Boner" and "Brand New Panties" is the answer to a question only Guy Debord could present. Tres incroyable. - Pitchfork (8.2)

"The New York renaissance may have turned out some commendably classic-sounding bands, but, as ever, it's the weirder groups frozen in the city spotlight that turn out to be the most interesting... Big Apple vogue might have led us to Ex Models, but this ain't no pretty boy fashion thing. This is New York evolution at work." - NME (8 of 10)

"I saw EM live before I heard them on record and...they wanked with such ferocious power that night the jizz-tsunami was unbelievable, the way they just spilt over a stage, cleaned out their pipes, put one end of a dirty rag up their ass, pulled it out their jap's eye and exorcised their inner filth. Now I'm worried that Zoo Psychology is proving ever so useful around the house...Ex Models are in hock to nothing but their own fizzing synapses, tutored by nothing but the adrenaline and testosterone coursing around their nubile young bodies. Each moment's capability to either explode or derail itself into silence is seemingly down to whether all four EMs are pulling together or apart, whatever unmediated impulse is buzzing within them...." - Careless Talk Costs Lives

"Éseizing and stretching the legacy of CBGB in its heyday: rock that's smart, skeletal, and recklessly ambitious, eager to provide an antidote to synthetic pop and self-important mainstream rock." - The New York Times

"New York noise that's more Sonic Youth than Strokes...a very loud, very strange and playfully destructive album of explosions attached to titles like "Fuck 2 to the Music"... It sounds as if Ex Models are driving through the window of a jewelry store with the emergency brake still on, and in every track they back up and do it again and again and again...making Zoo Psychology a funny and relentless advertisement for atonal living." - Rolling Stone

"At last the no-wave revival has produced a band with the genuine weirdness to match the original late-70's movement and the furious chops to follow such later jazzcore bands as John Zorn's Naked City... The disc last only 20 minutes, but it would take weeks to unravel all the hypertense riffs and squeals." - Blender

"[Zoo Psychology] sounds like an extremely horny dog humping your leg" - Village Voice

"Art-rock pushed to the extremes of sound and tipped over the edge of insanity. Each choppy outburst of noise makes no sense and yet with each yelp, bass throb and tsunami-like wave of guitar and incessant pounding, everything becomes clear. Confusing, chaotic, and utterly mesmerising." - Kerrang! (KKKK)

"The kind of chaotic explosion last heard in the chemistry lab when the technicians accidentally came up with a mini H-bomb." - i-D

"New York calls it a 'revival', but it's actually a cannibal dinner party, a celebration of a musical legacy being devoured... and Ex Models are sitting at the head of the table... So sink your teeth into these atonal, dissonant guitars. Wrap your tongue around these deconstructed song structures. Put that quivering strand of Arto Lindsay's flesh to your lips and wash it down with a warm glass of James Chance's blood. Close your eyes and take a bite." - Washington Post

"Each and every song is delivered with gusto by the four worryingly manic individuals on stage, as they gurn and shimmy through a set of punked-up, funked-up and totally fucked-up rock 'n' roll.. They are bizarre, clearly somewhat wrong in the head, and quite, quite brilliant." - Logo

"Who likes this album? People tired of trite uninspired plop pop schreeching at them from TV, radio and more. TV...Atonal no wave noise for the betterment of humanity. This is what music is becoming." - Stuff

"Ex Models put the 'ex' in 'sex' with their unique brand of hyperintellectual party-boy panic rock... With tongue planted firmly in cheek, the Models set out on their mission of rock and roll simulation packaging soulful high pitched vocals, call-and-response guitar work, and bouts of audience participation into catchy 90 second bursts suitable for advanced levels of Dance Dance Revolution." - San Francisco Bay Guardian
