Fans of Quicksand who have been in withdrawl since the breakup of the ultra cool New York
combo should take heart, DSK is your musical methadone. The hard hitting quartet picks up
the melodic post-punk torch that Quicksand dropped and carries it to a wonderful new plateau.
On their debut disc, Exploder!, DSK fuses soaring melody, solid grooves, intelligent lyrics and
complex rhythms. The result is 40 minutes of pure musical joy that is paradoxically diverse and
coherent; while no two songs sound the same, they fit together as a total package. Fans of
Quicksand, Helmet and Stanford Prison Experiment would be well advised to jump on this one
and show your friends what cool is supposed to sound like.
