RRR — Back At Hole
The four discs come in AOW house style clear DVD case- the cover takes in an extremely overexposed picture of two women lying down together, seemingly perform an act that ties into the release's title( just use your imagination!). The release came in an edition of 15 copies, and as of writing this review the label still has copies.
The four tracks are simply titled Parts One- though- to – Four, and each is dead-on the thirty-minute mark. The first track is a blend of constantly flowing & slurred deep meaty bass churn, which is mixed with this firm chopping/chomping static pattern. It opens the set in nice uncompromising, textural simple, yet effective HNW manner.
Moving onto the second disc- and this track blends together an ultra thick ‘n’ worming central bass tone, and thinner snapping ‘n’ popping sub-tones; which are fed into a uniformed matt of dense sound. In the second half of the track, we get a more cluttering ‘n’ grinding higher end textures added to the mix, and this nicely ramps up the intensity of the whole thing. This track has a nice vice like tautness to it, and as you listen it really does feels that the pressure is tightening & tightening on your head, as feasting insects scape over your ears nerves.
Track number three brings together a murky & tight bass judder, with springing & thinner jitter tones. At first, this ‘wall’ almost felt like it had a playful almost bizarrely buoyant feel to it. But as he minutes tick by it really starts to buzz ‘n’ grind into one's mind- I’d say of the four tracks this is my least favourite; and this is due to the initially brighter feel of the elements, and then the rather bland monotony of the whole thing.
Track number four blends together a beaded & constantly droning low-end, with a detailed weave of spinning, sputtering, and jittering sub tones. This creates a feeling akin to your face pushed closer & closer to the mangled spokes of a constantly spinning wheel.
It's really down to how much you enjoy crude, seared, and fairly texturally simply harsh noise wall to how much you’ll enjoy Back at Hole. On the whole, it’s an acceptable enough release from RRR, and through- out the focus is on creating the most primal & perverse wall-craft.
