The
Ex Models
were vaguely related to New York's funk-punk revival, but they boasted
Devo-esque vocalist Shahin Motia centerstage
and a frantic, psychotic rhythmic reinterpretation that evoked the Contortions and the Minutemen.
Other Mathematics (Ace Fu, 2001), featuring
the Seconds' drummer Zachary Lerhoff, flew through
13 songs in just 24 minutes, in a breathless manner not heard since the
heydays of the "no wave".
Zoo Psychology (French Kiss, 2003) repeated the same feat
(15 songs in just over 20 minutes)
with perhaps a better sense of harmony but in the process losing a lot
of its predecessor's visceral steam.
Chrome Panthers (Troubleman Unlimited, 2005), featuring
Oneida's drummer Kid Millions,
was perhaps the best played of the trilogy, although the instability of the
line-up inevitably pushed the vocals to the forefront, therefore transforming a
sound-oriented project into a persona-oriented project.
