Pig Peasant — Ossabaw Island Hog

Ossabaw Island Hog is a twenty-minute slice of choppy and bass-pummelling walling from this Old Town, Maine-based project. Throughout the track has an oddly soothing quality about it, and I could have easily played this for another twenty, thirty, or even forty minutes.

This single/ EP is a digital-only release on South Carolina Dying Monolith HNW. For the cover art, we get a picture of a rather large/ hairy looking hog, which I’m guessing is an example of an Ossabaw Island breed.

The single/self-titled track comes in at dead on the twenty-minute mark. It’s built around a chugging ‘n’ blunt low end, which is surrounded by choppy, slightly hiss-bound Mids. The whole ‘wall’ has a decidedly muddy/ woozy feel about it, and really, this pulls you deeper into the ‘wall’- to fully enjoy the textural patterns on offer here.

This is my second taster of the Pig Peasant project, and once again I’m very much enjoying what I’m hearing here. If you dig entrancing- yet- slight woozy blends of bassy ‘n’ choppy walling, then Ossabaw Island Hogwill appeal
