Borful Tang — On the back of a Dying Beast Vol 1
It’s all built with analog electronics that buzz,bend & drone mixed with rhythmic flourishers both tribal and jazzy. And Weaved in and out of are stuck looped and mangled musically textures that go from; easy listening to, Indian,to folk, to speed-up 1920’s music. He throws in strange slowed dialogue, radio voice chatter and weird self help elements. And just to finish things he often runs all manner of textural, dusty, crackling and environmental sound through and around the material to giving the whole thing the feeling of been found in some attic in a dusty forgotten trunk that belonged to a very eccentric relation who'd travelled our world and possible other worlds too.
Apparently these are all live recordings, though you wouldn’t know it as the no crowd sound,they were probably in shock or hypnotised by it all, it’s also recorded fairly well with the surreal sound soup flowing nice and evenly so your able to hear & often feel each element clearly. In all over the two disks there are seven tracks, disk one lasting just over 50 mins & disk two just over the half an hour mark. The best thing about it all is it's strange, crackled often hazy flow that means it doesn’t fit squarely into any musically genre and often dances in and out of musically textures & melodies before jumping into a fog of chattering voices, or down a rabbit hole of roaring psychedelic drone or noise,or down to the sea to be washed over by strange seas.
Both disks come in a double dvd type case with a single large tree leaf!?. This really is a treat for those who enjoy strange, swirling, dense psychedelic & bizarre sound lands. Oh and hopefully as the title hints at there should be a volume two- lets keep our fingers crossed!
