Norway’s Daufødt have always considered genre a springboard, vaulting over boundaries like crust, industrial and home-brewed rock’n’roll. Album three, however, affirms rather than expands convention. Piles of spiteful, lo-fi punk remain under the nails. Toxic swings with alt-rock flavour and Skjelvet’s bassline is dirtier than a used nappy. Falske Vekkelser is all jittery rhythm and post-reformation Swans pull-and-release. It’s heads-down aggression, it’s a bit wonky, and it’s fun, Annika Linn Verdal Homme’s screams so filthy they could spew from a storm drain in Derry, Maine. Want some diversity on your d-beats? Season them with Daufødt. ■■■■■■■
