Doodshoofd - Polititiestaa [self release - 2011]

“Polititiestaat” sees this Netherlands based HNW project offering up a selection of different lengthy yet brutal ‘walls’ of sound. In all there are six tracks here and they last between just over the eight minute mark to just over the twenty minute a piece.

The blue spray painted CDR come in a black and white photocopied slip sleeve which features on the front a reversible cover of two complex pattern matrix’s. The packaging is clearly DIY in it’s look, but Doodshoofd has  put in a bit of thought and effort into it’s presentation and the pattern matrix’s of course nicely fit the muilt-layered yet brutal textured layers and patterns of sound with-in the six tracks on the CDR.

Pretty much all six tracks here are worthy of your time and effort if you like brutal yet well thought out HNW. A few of my present favourites come in the form of track number two “o605” which mixers together this great  looped grinding & buzzing element with locked churning, juddering and explosive tonalities- with the buzzing and grinding element getting very hypnotic over the tracks just over eight minute length.
The just shy of nine minutes of “Van Stand” which sounds like a looped and slightly slowed down recording of a several  planes doing bombing runs over a city mixed with jittering ‘n’ weaving static spider web like cracks. Or the albums last and longest track “Reachten + Python= Rehired” which comes in at just over twenty two minute mark- this tracks ‘wall’ mixers together  ‘looped &  feeding back in to it self’ mid-pace churning juddering with these great & buried almost harmonic billowing noise tone sustains which you can just make out through the tracks brutal sonic storm.

“Polititiestaat” is my second taster of this up and coming Dutch project and I must say I’m very impressed with this release. As though-out Doodshoofd mangers to plough his own distinctive and creative sound, and also the album very consistent and damn brutal too.
