Incapacitants - Burning Orange [Pica Disks - 2008]

Burning Orange brings together two long pieces by this Japanese two piece noise project, who grow to a three piece on the second track with help from Finnish noise- head Tommi Keränen (Testicle Hazard), & it’s all  recorded  in suitable loud yet clear volume from last years All ear festival in Oslo.

The first track Orange Smoke starts with tangles of swarming amped up voices & screams before crash into moving plates of grating noise like been in the middle of an earthquake in the middle of a steel factory. As the track progresses the pair build up an impressive dense sound that’s always shifting and offer up new elements of stretching, pulsing or boiling sound. At about 17 minutes in to this 28 minute track they build up a wonderful roaring low down wave of sound, to which they press-in sharpe yet appealing diamonds of electro feedback, screams and rips. At times the vocal overloads brought to mind a feeling of almost very nasty and stuck hardcore rants.

The second track entitled Out of Schnaps starts with what sounds like microphone scrapes and shorts over what could once have been music. You keep getting hints of structure and easy listening jingle-ness, but it’s never allowed to fully formed long enough for your ears to fully define it. Before long the track starts to build up depth and shape having this great feeling of juggling textures. There are almost harmonic vocal moments been pushed ever so often into the fore for seconds at a time, along with this demented and bent snake charmer like element that could either be stretched and abused easy listening or guitar screams (or possible a bit of both).

Though both tracks are highly rewarding the second stands as my favourite here, with it’s feeling of nearly becoming musically and structured but never fully getting there. The disk is package in a full colour (& very orange!) sleeve. With a short write from  Tommi Keränen which tops off rather nicely this near on an hour of heavy weight noise cooking.
