I had not heard of Ennaytch, but they hail from Tucson, Arizona and describe themselves as “an industrial noise artist . . . with a diverse catalogue, exploring a wide variety of dark and experimental genres of sound.” The label describes this disc as “Sleepy-time muzak for the mentally unwell. Conceived as 3 volumes, about 20 minutes apiece, audio soundscapes specifically geared to make comfortable, those who are uncomfortable, so you may sleep. Even the disturbed deserve rest.” Sounds promising, so let's dive in.

We kick it off with “Ashamed of My Own Presence Yet Alas I Cannot Escape,” which is a jagged sort of drone number with bits of analog weirdness buried in the mix and a whole lot of bass. True to the description, this is just off kilter enough to not work as ambient music, but not really noisy either. The glitchiness is subdued enough that one can overlook it for a short time until it emerges to make itself known.
We close it off with “Crawling Out of My Skin and Slithering Into a Hole.” This is less bass and more midrange noisy drone with a lot of high-end hiss and hum. The result gives the feel of being in a beehive, only the bees are enormous and you are an unwelcome intruder.

Overall, this does what it sets out to do, which is provide a kind of “Sleepy-time muzak for the mentally unwell.” Indeed, one could put this in a similar vein as Nurse With Wound's “Soliloquy for Lillith” in impulse, if not quite in execution. Where “Soliloquy for Lilith” is a bit smoother in feel, this is much more dissonant and abrasive. That said, you didn't pick up a disc on Inner Demons because it would help you sleep, now did you? This definitely makes me want to hear the other two segments that seem to be in the works.
