The 12th annual throb of the Schwetwave kickstarts your heart with the no-wave blues trash of Drainolith, ritualistic Dark Age motorik techno duo Zohastre, NDW sophisti-synth-punk Das Kinn + more outsider sonics and devious antics than you can shake a 3D printed stick at. Nobody does it better….. "
