Vomir - Vomir ::: [Red Angel Recordings - 2017]

VOMIR ::: is a recent C40  from the prolific, always intense & unforgiving French wall noise legend Vomir. Each side of tape features a single slab of seared noise-craft, and each is as punishing & crude as each other.

The release appeared on Red Angel Recordings- which is a US HNW/noise label, that’s been recently resurrected after a few years of slumber by Monica Isabel Sanchez (Tissa Mawartyassari) & Dan Miñoza(Serpentine). The clear shelled cassette features a label on one side- this takes in the labels name against a red background. It comes in a black & red paint splattered baggie- inside this we get a fold out single sided mini poster featuring the releases name, and a close-up picture of split & frayed black rope.

Following the naming path of the majority of Vomir releases, each track here is Untitled.  The first side ‘wall’ is a blend of continually flowing & crusty bound drone rush, and a rapidly chopping/ shaking stark static texturing that is at the forefront of the sound. I guess you’d describe the track sounding like been on a overloaded & extremely rickety train in a decayed mine, as a deep, dark & stinking subterranean stream continually & violently roars somewhere below you. The two layers are moving at slightly different rates- so this of course creates the audio illusion  of shifting patter nation, subtle layer variation & at times layers running into each other-  but in reality this track  is deadly fixed.

Flipping over to the second side. And this side is very similar to the first sides ‘wall’ in it’s blend of rushing crude drone & shaking stark static. The difference is that the stark static element seemingly has an occasional knocking, breaking, and dragging sub-tones coming off it- also the whole thing seems faster. I’m not completely positive if these new adjustment/ additions are really there, and the whole thing could be a copy of the first side, and my mind is playing a tricks on me, trying to find change where there is none. And instead of feeling short-changed, or disappointed by the similarities, or additions- this uncertainly really pulls you mind deeper into the whole thing.


You can’t really say that VOMIR ::: is any departure at tall from most of Vomir massive back-catalogue. And if you’ve heard past work you’ll know full well what to expect here- unrelenting & nasty walled noise. But on both sides of tape  find the French man selecting simply, yet effective textures which he blends/ mixes together in a brutally worthy manner…not the best, or the worse Vomir release, just another sonic brick in his truly huge discography of totally uncompromising  noise craft.
