Kabong
Captured American Flag Displayed Upside Down
Wild Warthog
Call it Orange County's history of not-quite-mainstream when it comes to
politics, call it a release perfectly timed for the moment given Occupy
Wall Street is happening, call it a mixture of anti-authoritarian
impulses over the past ten years. And more besides, since Kabong's
Captured American Flag Displayed Upside Down is that kind of
everything-and-anything right down to the cover art. There's a copy of
the Constitution going into a shredder on the back, under two paragraphs
about the invasion of Iraq, another inside panel discusses 9-11
Trutherism in detail, under the disc itself is art talking about
protecting whales from Navy sonar testing. If it were all wrapped around
a cake of Dr. Bronner soap instead, nobody would bat an eye (even if
those guys are San Diego-based instead of OC).

Still, a couple of moments aside — the brief collage of “So America's
Bravest Kids Would Volunteer to Fight Your Wars” and the extended album
ender “Mission Accomplished,” with a slew of statements from our
previous president over a looped demi-industrial rhythm that shifts to a
moody classic-rock noodle — this isn't Public Enemy cranking up the
sonic instability here, or even fellow local homeboys Rage Against the
Machine completely ripping into things. Captured American Flag Displayed
Upside Down is its own mix and match but in a generally straightforward
enough rock way where sometimes the various messages the cover art
expounds upon come clear and at other points are just there.
If anything, more than a few moments seem like they would be fun enough
no matter what the context or lyrical focus, as with “Call of the Wild,”
in its own boogie/modern country stomp way, or “Not Going Home” pumping
up a bit of U2-styled anthemicism. Meanwhile there's a brief interview
snippet with George Carlin and an extended one with an engineer going
full-on into 9-11 theories about being an inside job so at times it
seems less like an album and more like a collage of impulses and
influences, not always the ones you expect to run into.
