Immaculate Affection - I [Vagary Records - 2012]

Immaculate Affection is another more pop culture themed HNW project. It’s themed/obsessed with the US actress Dianna Agron, who plays Quinn Fabray in American musical comedy-drama television show ‘Glee’.

Behind the project is Netherlands based Sven Klippel, whose past projects have taken in the dense, suffocating and darkly violent walled noise of Panic, and the more playful Hash noise/ HNW mix of Horsing. From the sonic evidence of this first Immaculate Affection release, the sound here is quite dense yet slow shifting take on walled noise.

The release original came in the form of a c30 tape, that featured a colour picture of Ms Agron dressed up as a cheer leader. The tape came in a edition of just five copies which sold out long ago. I’m reviewing a CDR promo of the release which features the two sides as one long track, so I’ll be reviewing it as one long track instead of two separate tracks.

The track starts out as a mixture of tightly weaved & detailed  HNW that brings together: several layers of low end juddering noise, crisper jittering noise, and stretched out sluggish billowing noise. As the track progress Klippel subtle shifts the textural detail of the noise layers, so at times it feels like it’s speeding up at other times slowing down. The ‘wall’ remains thick & impenetrable though-out, and though the layers shift the ‘wall’ remains fairly uniformed in it’s mass over it’s total 30 minute run-time.

On the whole this releases offers up a well put together, rewarding & subtle morphing bit of walled noise, though it doesn’t really seem to have anything playful/quirky about it, which you would expect with something themed around a musical comedy-drama.
