Vomir - Consolament Bruitiste Part 1 [Quagga Curious Sounds - 2011]

“Consolament Bruitiste Part 1” finds the black bag wearing master of French unmoving and crusty walled noise offering up a c40 worth of fast paced, urgent and lo-fi battering walled noise.

This must be one of the most pro & grimly well presented HNW tapes I’ve seen in some time. The tape case comes in a small draw string black velvet like pouch. The tapes sleeve features black ink printed onto very nice grey pearlescent card, and on the front cover  features a lithography drawing of what looks like some sort of Victorian torture rack. On the inner flaps theres a lithography drawing of a dark faceless figure & victorian prison cell picture, and on the reverse a cracked sliver and black  like texture. The tape is self is pro-pressed and features labels on both sides, and to top it off there’s a 3” by 2” black 'n' white picture of Vomir playing (un)live at the The Grosvenor in London last year. So there’s a lot of time & effort gone into this morbid and bleack, yet very pro look item.

Moving onto the two sides of tape, and each side offers up a single side long and untitled slice of what Vomir does best- brutal, crusty, unstoppable and impenetrable HNW. Side ones ‘wall’ is a rapid, lo-fi and extremely urgent mixture of battering ’n’ ripping crusty static that’s running down a juddering and slightly buckling noise roar. The ‘wall’ has the great almost grim audio 3d feeling as the two or three textures rage and tear at each other.

Side twos ‘wall’ is built around a descending, crusty and fast judder ‘n’ tumbling tonality that’s swamped and surround by this stark yet fast paced billowing drone. For some reason the track seems to bring to my mind an endless stream of bodies been rapidly drag down stone stairs into a candle lite basement by their hair- I guess it’s the main judder/tumble that brings this image to my mind. Again like the first sides track this is very fast paced & unbreakable in its form/ attack.

So to sum up this tape offers up  two very urgent, crusty and unrelenting slices of HWN from Vomir. And it's all packaged inside one of the most pro yet grim looking releases I’ve seen in a while- lets hope that Vomir and Quagga Curious Sounds  work togeather in the future, as they clearly bring the grim best out in each other!.
