Part Chimp - I Am Come

Well I've finally made my decision, Big Static's album of the year is Part Chimp's "I Am Come". Despite heavy competition from Million Dead, Lightning Bolt, French Toast and Spoon, Part Chimp just managed to take the gold with their hour of Mogwai meets Mclusky styled noise rock. They managed to improve on their debut just enough to create a record that deserves any bit of recognition it gets. I've always found it enjoyable to see a band with such an agenda. Delivering ear splitting noise with a killer melody hidden beneath a sea of distortion and yelped vocals. As Part Chimp are completely fluent in this school of musical creation, they've captured my interest enough for me to put them on this podium.
