True Neutral Crew, the recently formed group featuring members of Foot Village (Fat Cat / Not Not Fun), clipping. (Sub Pop), and I.E. (Deathbomb Arc), has released a music video for one of their catchiest yet most uncomfortable tracks, “I Guess”. Emphasizing the confusion and disgust of their lyrics with performative depictions of the grotesque, the angelic, and mostly the slapstick, “I Guess” is, if anything, raw. Also, much like the lyrics, it is designed to command a questioning of the cultural issues addressed; not to serve as some sort of dogmatic “Rage Against The Machine” pulpit piece.
“For those who are into clipping., I think you’ll find this project to be much more heady and socially conscious.” – The Needle Drop
“…some seriously crazy instrumentals and vocal work that has to be heard.” – Potholes In My Blog
“…the everyday confused souls who clumsily navigate through racial, class and sexual spheres in present-day L.A is laser-point acute and probably more tragic.” – Tome To The Weather Machine
“‘I Guess’ meditates on the conspiracy of culture to compartmentalize” – Critical Masses
