Bleak Existence — HNW Is Not Dead

“HNW Is Not Dead” offers up a single slice of dense popping ‘n’ skipping static & hypnotic walled noise. The release comes in  the form of a CDR, and it’s the first release from this Canadian project in a few years.

The single track on offer here comes in at 48.38 mark, and it’s built around this great mesh of chopping, skipping & jumping static tones, which are weave into this wonderful submerging  ‘n’ head spinning mixture. The 'wall' seems to feast, slice & dart around your ears & head in a most rewarding & busy manner.  The static textures utilized here of are all of a mid-tone quality, and I guess you'd compare them to a mixture of deep vinyl like skipping, roaming radio like static catching  & jittering manipulated genreal grey static.  The tracks feel remains dense & busy through-out it’s near on fifty minute runtime, and structurally the ‘wall’ remains fairly fixed yet from time to time you get nice stuck like build-ups of skipping static,  the odd sudden textural layer darts, or on one or two occasions brief moments of silence.

I must say I was very taken by the busy & hypnotic feel of this ‘wall’, and I can recommended to anyone who enjoys dense ‘n’ brain twisting static texturing, or more static based walled noise. Lets hope these some more new stuff from this project soon!.
