From Tucson, Arizona’s Ennaytch here’s a two-track release that blends detailed textured noise with brooding to uneasy ambience. It’s a release that has more than a whiff of dark ‘n’ dystopian sci-fi about both its tracks, and artwork.

 
The release appears as a digital-only affair on release on Portland’s Basement Corner Emission. The cover artwork is a picture of a raised screaming head- with long hair, wearing some kind of goggles on a grey backdrop. The release can be found just here 
 
Both tracks here hit around the twenty-minute mark, for a total release play time of spot on forty minutes. So first up we have “Gutteral Churning Trauma Misery” here we find a mixture of a vigorously juddering low, a jittering ‘n’ knocking mid, and almost aquatic bound subtone rub ‘n’ insect-like clutter. To begin with, this is underfed by a slowly drifting low-end drone. At around the third minute, a tolling/ lightly ringing tone comes into play- and this sounds like it may be a modified guitar tone- which is slowly tolling out this unease ambience- at times getting quite tense/louder in its attack. This track is okay- though I wish the later tolling tone was more subdued in its mixture with the rest of the ‘wall’- though it does get more rewardingly shadowy late
 
Next, we have “Completely Consumed By Darkness Within”. Here we find a deep billowing ‘n’ grinding low end, which is underfed by a constant battering tone. Around this, we get a steadily drifting & shadow-like ambience. At points, some of the brooding low end comes into play with the almost industrial subtone fluttering- giving a vibe of a dammed cyborg lead future very much. The ambient element is much better balanced with the noise elements- so in that way the tracks more rewarding, though I’m not as texturally keen on this 'wall'.
 
The blend of dark ambience & noise on Vacuum Cleaner Music For The Solitary Psychonaut Vol One: Darkness Consume, is certainly interesting- and at times it works well, I just felt on the first track the mix was out. Nevertheless, I look forward to hearing what Ennaytch does with the upcoming volumes of this series.
