Novasak/Human Fluid Rot/Fail/Vasectomy P - 4 Way Split (2xC42) [Forever Escaping Boredom - 2017]

Forever Escaping Boredom release of a noisy four way split proves that it's not all sun and fun in Florida. With a side each from Novasak, Human Fluid Rot, Fail, and Vasectomy party, this double C42 blasts through the listener's speakers with a loving intensity and varied approach of style. Nicely compiled, this split is a great showcase of four acts from Florida's vibrant noise scene.

Opening up the split are two ten minute tracks from Novasak. Varying in sonic approach but sharing a slow, deliberate pacing, both "Verlinde" and "Quantifying Radiation Damage" convey and excellent, deep sense of impending doom. Whether through the low, plodding oscillations or via cosmic remnants of sound colliding with receptive machinery, Novasak's songs are tight and engaging. The ten minute time frame allows for ample development while not over staying their welcome.

 Turning a corner (and, also the tape) reveals Human Fluid Rot ready to strike. This harsh noise assault is quite a change from Novasak's approach, but carries a grimness all its own. Loud and boisterous, it's very familiar turf, unfortunately, and its familiarity is accentuated through the distorted porno samples. While there's nothing really groundbreaking on display, it's still a very solid, harsh effort, and the passion for the noise at hand should be commended.

Starting the second tape is Fail and its two untitled tracks. A bit more on the strange, sparse electronica end, the warbling and throbbing of varied notes and distortion plays well with Novasak's "Quantifying Radiation Damage." The screeching finale to Fail's entry feels like the descent and ultimate death of a man-made satellite, burning up on re-entry.

Vasectomy Party rounds out the split with a pair of grim, noisy terrorscapes. Like visions of an alien planet suffering the throes of auto-destruction, the final two songs bring this interesting split to an intriguing close. Rough, but still noisy, this fairly sparse offering showcases the subtleties and restraints for those skilled in noise.

This four way split from Forever Escaping Boredom brings together four varied acts from the Florida noise scene. Some times punishing, some times contemplative, this split is a nice cross section of what the genre has to offer. Limited to 50 copies, this one should go quickly, so snag it if you can.
