Smersh take their name from the fictitious Russian organization from Ian Fleming&rsquo;s James Bond 007 novels. The music of these 10 upbeat electro-abrasive improvisations are rich with well-mixed influences. It is an unfortunate tendency to rely on influences for description&rsquo;s sake but Smersh uses them in such a way that for us they end up sounding a lot better sometimes. Take Kraftwerk&rsquo;s technopop sound minus the cartoons, mix in a little OLD Cabaret Voltaire histrionics plus some Chrome-ish psycho-violence and you have a sound that&rsquo;s grating, brutal, nightmarish, and VERY DANCEABLE. A very NOW sound with a definite European flavor.
