Esther Chlorine / Deep Spring (Turmeric Magnitudes)

Dark spelunking lo-fi noise, abstract and cluttered but sharp and engaging. Esther Chlorine is a Brooklyn/San Francisco duo, the latter half being Greg Garbage, whose ambient project Black Thread played our Day Of Noise. Dark Spring is, in all likelihood, also Greg Garbage, whose label released this. That side is long, monotonous, eerie and subterranean, very subtle and requiring a lot of patience to absorb.

1. (22:30) EC: scraping kitchen-sink abstract madness, blurred nightmarish weirdness, crescendos into some loud buzzing static frequencies
2. (7:08) EC: starts abrasive but calms down into floating space satellite tape-loop drones
3. (28:39) DS: quiet subtle loops, meditative and unobtrusive until some harsh dissonance comes in during the last few minutes
