After an intense opening bout from Rarelife, Columbus, Ohio label Shut Off Notice come back with another grip of underground treats delivering on that Midwestern rawness. Teakup, aka Lauri Reponen, first appeared on another choice Ohio label, is/was, back in 2018, and he brings a little house energy to this EP without shirking on the grit and impact. 'No Matter What I Do' bounces with vocal slices and a bumping groove reminiscent of Todd Edwards were 'The God' to get a little rougher around the edges, while 'Alive' takes things deeper and funkier. 'I Can't Fight It' hits a sweet spot between clamouring techy intensity and a thumping house rhythm section, and 'What I Got 2 Give' keeps the pressure up with some gnarly low end pressure and crafty boogie sampling edging Teakup's swinging style closer to outright garage.
