Review: Powd[e]r Pussy – Six Ways From Sunday

“This is a pussy blowout!” The collaborative efforts of Ah-Cama Sotz and This Morn’ Omina is as impressive as the solo work from their individual projects. Six Ways from Sunday is where Pow[d]er Pussy converts anybody reluctant to listen to rhythm noise into a devoted fan. Twelve tracks of accessible beats, minimal vocals and sampling and blistering, pounding bass makes a good alternative to coffee. “Cryogenicpussylover” has been noted on many DJs’ playlists (not just in industrial clubs, either). It starts with a man yelling out the different types of pussy cat-calls and instantly reminds me of Lords of Acid’s “Rough Sex”—but better. Mika’s (This Morn’ Omina) tribal beats stand out at some points alternating with Herman’s (Ah-Cama Sotz) rolling rhythms, but always merge back to the pussy for original explosions. Six Ways from Sunday is an album that fits every mood, from background music at work to pounding on the headphones when you want to go on a power-walk.
