Raymond & Marie — Mersault
Sound / musically wise it’s made up of throbbing/ fluttering world-weary double bass playing, suffocating and shadowy electronics manipulations and muffles, ringing dulled guitar pitches and every now and then percussive elements from the drums. In all there are three untitled tracks here, with the first and the longest nearing the half an hour mark which limps into life with it’s bowed double bass tones,as the track progresses guitar feedback and pitch is added as well as subtle electronic elements- as the double bass slips in and out of it’s sad treading and wonderings. Track two comes in near the twenty minute mark and is all fluttering bird dying percussion, lone shadows stretches of bass, and drab peeling wall paper drone. The last track and shortest here once more finds the double bass very present with the guitar giving quite a sinister ground down metal tones on top along with strange percussive tapping and knocking.
A rather doomy and hopless slice of improvising that really wears down your hope & need to move from a slumped position over its hour running time, leaving you heavy shouldered and glum as it exits.
