Most vividly described by Michael Gira as sounding "...like being beaten up by a sexually enraged clown," no-wave throwbacks Flux Information Sciences unleashed their debut for Gira's own Young God label in early 2001. Prior to that, three other LPs were issued between 1997 and 2000. They combined a dark sense of humor with funky, destructionist noise that was alternately electronic and more organic. The collective gained a loyal following throughout the underground New York scene with confrontational live performances that often made light of consumerism and the mundane side of life. They would have fit snugly with late-'70s New York acts like Suicide, the Contortions, and Teenage Jesus and the Jerks, but they also had the effect of Cabaret Voltaire as managed by nutball auteur John Waters. ~ Andy Kellman, Rovi
