Soma - Me Dais Mucho Asco [Dunkelheit Produktionen - 2024]

German imprint Dunkelheit Produktionen presents Me Dais Mucho Asco by Soma. This is my first foray into this Spanish sound artist who evidently has been around the block for a while producing several releases on such imprints as MARBE NEGRE and L. White.

Me Dais Mucho Asco offers up four tracks of an interesting blend of psychedelic harsh noise and power electronics mayhem. Soma creates his fetid sonic stew layering equal parts: found sounds, loops, sputtering synths, static wash, high-end feedback, and heavily delayed vocals.

The opening salvo “El Sindrome De Saturno” immediately bludgeons the listener with what to expect for the next fifty minutes. Found sounds are pumped up and blown out, layered with repetitive stuttering synth bits and sustained feedback, which eventually recedes into a PE vocal attack.

“Este Es El Rincón Más Oscuro De Mi Alma” tests your tolerance for high-end feedback with a near-minute-long intro of ear-shredding before swallowing it all in a mass of static and spluttering synth tones.

The shortest track on the album, running just shy of eight minutes, “Esterior” highlights some rapid insectoid chirping blended with dense loops that almost sound like a NASCAR race and sustained droning tones.

The final track “Donde Las Ideas De Una Generación Perdida Van A Morir” almost sounds like a rapid-fire helicopter blade whizzing around mixed with delayed vocals in a wall of noise. The 15+ minute track bustles at a furious pace before receding into a long-form sample that sounds akin to something The RITA would use in his exploration of ballet.

Overall, Me Dais Mucho Asco is a solid harsh noise release with lots of interesting bits to latch onto.
