TARA DELONG
You Do the Math (Fatal Recordings)
Reviewed by Holly Day

---

You have to hand it to Atari Teenage Riot - they are dedicated enough to all their political causes that even the other people signed to their private spinoff labels record highly political music. Tara Delong is no exception - the feisty Mexican industrial rapper, signed to Hanin Elias' label, writes very angry songs about plastic surgery, capitalism, conspicuous consumerism, McDonald's, drug dealers, the media, and anything else that pisses her off. The record reminds me a lot of the stuff Meg Lee Chin was doing a couple of years ago, with more nasty-sounding guitar and the occasional seductive Spanish coo in the background.
