The Throat Is Pregnant / Zangstondes
(Ultra Eczema - UE58) split LP $28.00
This record is all about flipping the coin of persistence and patience. Dylan Nyoukis is back on his grind, and what a tooth-crushing experience it is, old school vocal perversion for which the Chocolate Monk president is known: a retarded brew of high- and low-pitched vocal scruff, muffled sonic slime, lungs full of asbestos dust, and a preference for visuals that piss on the high-brow, borne of total no-fi cassette trouble and underage kids chewing on dusted tapeloops. Dennis Tyfus drools on the microphone and allows bodily juices to make contact with translation delays, empty Kleenex boxes and the power that controls the earth's core. Constant knob-tweaking, contact mic'd cheese balls, and endless layers of mutilated throat sounds jump across the circuitboard like mechanical ants. There's a lot of weird information to absorb here. In addition to vicious ragtime gobot action, a gentle, furrier choir meditation zone will trance your brain muscles over the rainbow. Highly influenced by aboriginal ways of life and the meditative nature of throat singing, the Homo Sapiens Ultra Eczema president spits out a true projection of his tormented soul. Packaged in a classic fold-out silkscreen jacket in a limited edition of 250 copies.
