OF COURSE THERE HAVE BEEN TWO PIECE BANDS BEFORE, THE TWO-PIECE IS ENGRAINED INDELIBLY IN THE LEXICON OF ROCK. IT IS FAIR TO SAY THOUGH THAT NONE BEFORE HAVE MANAGED TO MAKE AS MUCH NOISE WITH AS LITTLE INSTRUMENTATION AS DEATH FROM ABOVE 1979. DEATH FROM ABOVE 1979 IS A TWO-PIECE, TWO FRIENDS WHO MET IN PRISON; JESSE F KEELER AND SEBASTIEN GRAINGER THAT LIVE IN A FUNERAL PARLOUR IN TORONTO. TO HEAR THEM ON RECORD, IT IS HARD TO BELIEVE THAT THE ONLY INSTRUMENTS BEING PLAYED (WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE ODD FLUTE SAMPLE OR MOOG OSCILLATION) ARE THE BASS AND DRUMS. IT’S A BIT LIKE HOW QUEEN USED TO WRITE “NO ONE PLAYED SYNTHESISERS” IN THE SLEEVE NOTES OF THEIR EARLY ALBUMS, WELL WITH DEATH FROM ABOVE NO ONE PLAYS GUITARS “WE DON’T NEED THEM, AND BESIDES WHY WOULD WE WANT TO PUT ANYONE ELSE ON THE PAYROLL?”
