Sebastian Tomb — Indifferent To Your Plight

Appearing at the tail end of the last year, Indifferent To Your Plight is a new six track release from Berlin based wall/textured noise Sebastian Tomb. As we’ve come to expect from this project, we get a creative/ fairly original take on the genre- which adds in elements of brooding synth tone and disorientating -to-moody sound craft.

As with much of the genre’s output- this is a self-released digital affair. For the cover artwork we get a monochrome picture of a woman- this looks like it maybe be of a 40’s/ 50’s screen starlet- she is looking slightly down in a rather glum manner.

The six tracks have fairly short runtime for walled/ textured noise running between fifty-three seconds and around six minutes.  We go from “Desire” which opens with a blend of ominous bass tone sustained and bouncing sample of a man talking- before lunching into a blend of steady textural grain sawing, hovering buzzing, and distant/ slightly muffled stabbing synth brood.  Onto “Dare” which opens opens with a looped/ yet warped recording of a man talking about (I think) fantasizing. With the track fairly soon opening up into a blend of agitated billow, jagged scrubbing hiss, cluttering jitter, and hovering bass purr. Through to the subterrain murk-ness of “Deadlock” with its mix of spiralling choppiness, sinister bass judder ‘n’ purr, and cluttering spin.

Sebastian Tomb is far from a prolific project- but when it does release you can grantee well convinced/ thought out work- and that’s exactly what  Indifferent To Your Plight is. To check it out drop by here
