Deison ~ Night Sessions

Age can have a calming effect on the soul.  Just ask Deison, two decades removed from his work in Meathead.  While remaining experimental, he has toned down the knobs a bit for his latest effort, the collaborative and cavernous Night

Luminance Ratio ~ Like Little Garrisons Besieged

Sometimes a simile for a title feels just right, in this case inspired by Defoe’s A Journal of the Plague Year.  This debut recording features three members.  However, the group is a collaborative collective by nature, and the trio is

nembrot/A. “ICS” Ferraris ~ il suono dell’ olifante

Yet another instance of collaborating Italian sound experimentalists, il suono dell’olifante draws on noise improvisation and careful post-production techniques to intimidating effect.  The trio of Nembrot draws out “insane” guitar noise with “nembrotic percurssion,”  combined with the laptop treatments and cheap electronics

House of Low Culture ~ Poisoned Soil

Sustained, low level reverberations can often damage a structure more than sudden savagery.  On Poisoned Soil, the walls take a while to crumble, as former Isis guitarist and current Hydra Head boss Aaron Turner applies a Machiavellian restraint.  It’s not
