Expose Your Eyes - Everything On Full [Oxidation Records - 2022]

Everything On Full is a recent release from Expose Your Eyes Aka West Yorkshire-based Paul Harrison. The pro-pressed CDR takes in two fourteen to fifteen minutes tracks, which shift through eventful harsh noise, dense and moody electro-scaping, and a general blend of the two.

The Expose Your Eyes project has been active since the 1990s- and early on this year I got an introduction to the project with the excellent double CDR compilation Rest ( also on Oxidation Records).  The set highlighted the project's rewarding and varied take on the noise/ detailed-yet-dense election sound. So, when I saw this new work, I just had to jump in!.

So first up we have “Everything On Full side 1”- and this slides in at the 15.07 mark. The track begins with a rapidly fading in amass junk clamour- this is fairly soon added to by a thick ‘n’ rapid droning roar, with the whole opening having very much a amplified bounding heart body vibe. As we move on Harrison starts to shift the sound into denser space-bound harsh noise, which shifts 'n' drifts of circuitry whizzes, whines, stretches and the occasional psychedelic blips ‘n’ blops. By the mid-way point, things become a lot busier in its manic robot/circuity-like chatter- with swirling mid’s and highs making sure you keep focused and awake. And as we move towards the last four or so minutes things start to thin back slightly in the low end, with Harrison blending together rapid electro chatters and bracing mid-ranged cross drones- with early stretching ‘n’ bending tones reappearing from early in the track

The second track “Everything On Full side 1” comes in at the slightly shorter 14.07. This opens with a blend of slowly baying ‘n’ tumbling almost harmonic electro-toning, but before one can fully define it- thick sheets of slice, swoop, and sear are added into the mix. By around the four-minute mark we start to get mid to high electro-oscillating tones been brought into the mix, and this gives a sensation of accelerating through space, with stars rushing and blurring by.  In time we get touches of robot chatter added in, and then later we get rapid shifts through billow to beadily hissing dense tunnels of harsh noise. With the track resolving in a wonderful bending, baying, and stretching pile-up.

Everything On Full is most certainly a release for those who enjoy thick, shifting, and eventful harsh noise with searingly intergalactic tendencies, and even some roasting psychedelic moments too. To purchase the CDR directly from Oxidation drop in here
