Absence of Essence
(Arbor - ARBOR99) 2x7-inch $10.00
Heavy synthesizer work reminiscent of the crushing mass of early industrial music, Absence of Essence consumes the air around it with heavy vibrations and total deprivation. Four tracks rip holes through the sonic barriers, loud and powerful with entrancing subtleties and discreet builds. The nature of the seven-inch format yields succinct and unwavering compositions. One platter is white vinyl, the other one's black. Edition of 400.
Claustrophobic Wreck
(Ultra Eczema - UE75) LP $28.00 (Out-of-stock)
In a small wooden cabin between New York and Detroit, without food, the tap water nonpotable, the eating of one another's intestines the final enjoyable possibility -- these are the conditions surrounding the thick throbbing of two synthesizers bubbling up from hungry bowels, fighting their way to better times. Dark, gnarly and industrial, classic heavy synth waves, rhythmic madness and electronic sadness. Collage sleeve by Dennis Tyfus, 300 copies.
Severance
(Hospital - HOS254) CD $13.50
No Fun’s Giffoni defines his signature with compositional electronic music that melds analog drone with tonality of the past expressions and a collision of minimalist sequencer details on a pure electronic landscape.
