"Emerging out of Amsterdam's vibrant squat scene in 1979,
The Ex
-- a name chosen for the ease and speed with which it could be spray-painted onto a wall -- have for four decades been an entirely self-sustaining musical entity, charting a course through the global underground with a spirit of freedom and radical exploration. On 1985's
Pokkeherrie
(Dutch for 'terrible noise'), The Ex return to the more stripped-down instrumentation on their early LPs. A key lineup change would also see the arrival of drummer
Kat Bornefeld
(whose supple rhythms propel the group to this day). Recorded at the new location of Koeienverhuur Studio in the basement of storied squat/venue Emma,
Pokkeherrie
is a testament to the angular momentum of a group in full creative flux. Right from the opening track, bassist
Luc Klaasen
generates a relentless pulse.
Terrie Ex
's sparse/acidic guitar and
G.W. Sok
's impassioned vocals combine in a vein similar to
The Minutemen
,
Flipper
, or
Rudimentary Peni
, except The Ex have the patience and wherewithal to sustain their approach beyond just brief explosions. Perhaps only
The Fall
from this period can match The Ex's ability to hold a melody together while utilizing otherwise harsh sonic elements over an extended piece, most effectively on 'Soviet Threat,' '1,000,000 Ashtrays,' and 'White Liberals.' This first-time vinyl reissue comes with 17" x 24" poster and 20-page booklet."
