When not busy with his hard IDM / breakcore project on the N5MD label, Keith Baker works under the Sharps Injury moniker for his noisier pieces. Started back in 2000, this project has evolved beyond what you're likely to expect from a first release and provides the sort of variation and skill so deplorably absent from a number of its rhythmic noise counterparts.
Easily incorporating influences from its brother project, Sharps Injury isn't shy when it comes to handling melodious pads and synth lines in the middle of the gritty rhythms. If your girlfriend is slightly dim, you might be able to fool her about the format of the release, but there's no denying that she'll appreciate the catchy beats of Kestrel and Forklift 14 or the epic and howling roars of the Ancestor Cell. Or maybe not, but that's her loss.
