Boar — You Will Never Be Happy
The release takes in ten tracks in all, and these each have a running time of just over a minute to nearing the ten & a half minute mark- with a total album running time of forty three minutes. It opens in nice brooding yet seared form with “slick”, which brings together a slow marching electro low end tone, a buzzing ‘n’ hovering sinister harmonic element, and baying/ gargling vocals. From here on the album goes from more lengthy tracks that move dense weaves of slowly munching static, which erupt into taut blends of forking high pitched noise with churning & crisp galloping backdrops. Onto shorter tracks that blend together rising & malevolent harmonics, simmering noise clouds, and chattering ‘n’ bay amassed vocals. Through to searing yet moody mixers of forking-yet-eerier feedback wails mixed with on/off piles meshing/ galloping static, and beyond. Through-out there’s a nice shift from more brooding & sinister, onto more intense attacks, and a mix of both settings. The whole thing is nicely varied, and it’s clear Boar has taken a lot of time editing/ structuring the releases running order for maxim effect.
So in summing up You Will Never Be Happy is a most consistent & worthy release that deserves attention from a wider noise audience, and really this project needs more recognition in general from those who enjoy seared yet atmospheric experimental sound. So if you fancy picking up a copy head over to here where it can be purchased directly from the artists.
