After its remarkable debut with Francisco Lopez's "Untitled#119", Lapilli now releases an ep of one of my all-time fave artists. Through his extensive discography, Menche has developed a unique approach to noise, managing to fuse harsh electronics, minimal drones and concrete recordings into a mass of pure physical power. After a recent series of ok, but not earth-shaking releases, "Drunk gods" puts him back to the sheer brilliance of mature masterpieces like "The face of vehemence" and "Beautiful blood", and at the same time offers a diverse, possibly more daring work. The piece begins with a series of crazed glitches and pulses, sounding like an electronic device about to explode. Gradually and relentlessly, more layers (a sustained organ drone, insect buzzes, his trademark noise electronics, etc.) are added, up to a climax of head-splintering intensity. Believe me, the title IS an appropriate suggestion of what's going on here.
