KZSU alums, local masters of free-form live recorded improv noise, noise rock, release two tracks of latest meanderings into drone, sci fi space and beautiful noise. Heavy on the analog synth this time, minimalist drums, presence of twang guitars, even some congas. Probably a kitchen sink in there somewhere. Brain reboot.
All instrumental, FCC clean.
1)* (14:05) vague driving rhythm and beat, searing soaring electro synth and tones, evolves to complex mixtures of deep toned near industrial factory feel, order in chaos, recedes into lovely toned minimalist guitar twang with perfect natural gymnasium reverb and pensive old school analog synth sequences. Fitting and deserving composition to reference the classic Futurama 3 second Hypnotoad Drone
2. (15:00) Sardines. Drone of electro buzz contrasted with congas random ambient interjections, slow subliminal build of layered noise until by 7 minutes we’ve got a hypnotic onslaught of bliss out beauty, drum embellishments, ~9 min in a messy electro beat joins the fray if briefly followed by big filtered VCO synth tone, intensifies then ends rather cold Bill C. 2/25
