I was not familiar with this Australian artist, but the bio describes the music as “improvised noises made at home with vocals and computerdrums and long feedback manipulations in order to somehow mark this monumental epoch in time through the cathartic process of making sound.” Most of the bandcamp releases seem to have a political bent, and this one seems no different. So let’s dive in and see what it sounds like.
This disc consists of two tracks. We open with “You Talk Loudly About Your Rights, But Are Silent About Your Responsibilities,” which opens with a cacophony of heavily processed voice. This becomes reverbed into oblivion and the effect is almost spectral, with moaning voices over staticky bass drone. There are some moments of respite, where it becomes almost peaceful, but there is still a feeling of tension and suspense even in these moments. Well done.
“Your Right To Swing Your Fist Ends Where My Face Begins” closes out the disc with a composition of stuttering noise and really quiet drone. This gets really quiet in the middle, and feels like looped noise, which was not as engaging. About halfway through, some drums kick in, like someone getting ready to play, rather than playing. The seeming randomness of the beat kept it interesting.
Overall, this was interesting, but the first track was much stronger than the second. Still, it was interesting, and if you like your noise with a bit of an improvisational feel, this would be worth checking out. This album weighs in at around 19 minutes.
