This Is What I Hear When You Talk is a Florida wall-noise-based project, which has been active since 2019. Releasing an impressive nine hundred plus releases to date- I’ve popped in & out of the projects discography over the years- reviewing the odd release here & there. Loneliness Texture XXXIII is a digital released- taking in a single thirty-five-minute track.

This is a digital self-released affair. Cover artwork wise we just have the release's title in white set against a plain black backdrop.  Apparently, the track was recorded as part of an ongoing bereavement ritual. The release can be found just here.

The self-titled track comes in at dead on the thirty-five-minute mark. The ‘wall’ is centred around a set base of tumbling rumble, jittering static mids, and distant gritty rattles. On top of this ever so often we get this stretching-sort-of-dragging ripping texture - this seems to sit somewhere between mid & high ranged in its attack.  

The texturally base of the track is nicely packed and densely inviting in it’s relentless batter, jitter, and rattle. The on/ off tone moves between feeling numbing & primal, to hurt & emotionally drained/ batter- which of course nicely fits into the themes of the track- generally loss and bereavement. So I guess what we have here is  emotional or emo-walled noise…. A great example of this  wall noise sub-genre is This Will Be Your Life Without You.., which was a 2011 collab between UK’s Small Hours & Serbia’s Dead Body Collection.

Loneliness Texture XXXIII is most certainly an engaging example of wall craft- with some subtly effective undercurrent of loss and pain.  A release for those who want to get totally lost in a ‘wall’, and block out the world around  them.
