Roro Perrot Scum Impro Core

[Twilight Luggage — 2011]
Reviewed 9 March 2011by Roger Batty
Roro Perrot or to give him his full name Romain ‘Roro’ Perrot is better know to most as Vomir- the unstoppable, extreme and black bag wearing french HNW project. This new project it’s best described as harsh-noise-core meets extreme noise improv with a dada edge.

The release features fourteen untitled tracks that last between a few seconds to just over nine minuets a picec- but really the whole  album is  best taken as one long jabbering, manic and deranged noise attack on your sonic sensers. The tracks are built around a manic  mixture of:  discordant and noisy guitar scaping, lo-fi cluttering ‘n’ roaring electronics, and these distinctive nasally and angered dada  male vocals. The vocals rather bring to mind an enraged yet sneering version of early Residents vocalizing- like how they sounded on either "Meet The Residents" or "Third Reich ‘n’ Roll", but with a distinctive French hardcore edge to them.  There’s really not much variation or let up here as the  fourteen tracks really just run into each other with a very similar mixture of: mangled and cluttering improv discordant guitar, dirty ‘n’ blown out noise, and ranted dada  tinged french vocals.

So in summing-up “Scum Impro Core” shows us the more deranged and violent  dada side of the French king  of HNW. It’s certainly an unhinged and blown-out experience, and it’s quite exhilarating in it’s just under thirty minute shot of gabbling mayhem- through I’m not sure if I can see this kind of thing working for me over and over again as it does with the Vomir template.
