Moontwin’s “Reach Through” has the kind of momentum and urgency one doesn’t hear often enough in an era of too much dispassionate music that also seems to lack for conviction. It’s tempting to compare it to 90s bands that fused industrial music with post-punk like Curve but the production on the track doesn’t sound or feel throwback. More comparable to something like Big Black Delta or TR/ST where the low end, rhythm and melody compliment each other in a mutually fortifying way. The distorted bass line starts the song off in a headlong drive that pushes and carries the song in its wake. Maple Bee’s vocals are part commentary part subject in the way Dale Bozzio’s were in Missing Persons. Zac Kuzmanov lost the use of his hands a few years ago due to a degenerative muscular disorder (the crowdfunding campaign to aid his disability can be found here https://zhouse.xraydio.net/?fbclid=IwAR0_Tc2SJDKwxmSfUhuo2X6wb8qzraezU9jkIwVhchAjGlm6JvC0pntu7k8 ) but it clearly didn’t put a damper on his powers of imaginative production and songwriting.
