Morte Cammina — Uncertainty
Considering this is ltd to just ten copies it’s surprising to see that you get pro printed sleeve, and this is a semi glossy double sided black & white affair. It takes in pictures of women with knifes, along with minimal white text on black background. All told a well done & effective bit of packaging.
The cassette features one track on each side of tape, and each track is a set & brutal slice of wall craft. So first up on side A we have the track "Toy Box", and this track brings together this weird sort of teeming & organic rumbling, with a layer of rapidly splintering ‘n’ spiteful juddering static patter-nation. The rumble has a nice muffled & almost subterranean feel to it, while the judder is a lot more searing & coarse in it feel. Together these create an appealing bit of wall craft, which nicely balances atmospheric murkiness, with seared brutality.
Flipping over to side B & we have "Corrupted Mind". And this sees the following elements been brought together: a taut & fairly meaty judder, a matt of crisp ‘n’ crusty jittering, and a fixed hissing. The judder has a great feel of stretched urgency about it, and this is nicely enhanced by the fixed & semi buried hissing, then the outer jittering adds seared tension to the whole thing. At times each individual textural element seems to be either slowing or speeding up to its companions; though in reality I think the whole thing is very much fixed, and this feeling is just a trick of the ‘wall’.
I quite enjoyed this projects first release( The First Taste), so it’s nice to see this second release is a worthy follow-up. And really I'd say it betters that first release, as I felt there was certainly a marked improvement in both the textures used & the way they were brought together to create rewarding walled noise.
