APOCALYPTIC, EARSHATTERING POWER ELECTRONICS! Transmitter failure mini-epics, cathartic stuff that should ideally be broadcast during the rush-hour commute. Jeff Carey is a musician from Baltimore who uses video game equipment and a laptop (explicitly “no guitars or synthesizers were used on this recording”); when I saw him live, he was ten feet away from me and I seriously thought my head was going to explode—you know, in a good way. But also literally. Holy fuck this is some loud and disturbing noise from hell. And yet it’s so carefully crafted, with a brilliant ear for dynamics and tension, it somehow manages to be beautiful in a really twisted way. Don’t overlook this gem. All tracks wonderful, 3-4 mins. 1. buzzzz whirrrr fizzzzz BOOOOOM clang 2. slow and subtle rumbling, digital cicada chirping 3. glitch-laden stereo-panning pulses, static explosions, ends on more windy nothingness 4. harsh destructive bursts of jet engine seppuku 5. whooshing, whirring, rumbling sounds, like you’re being force-fed peyote by a psychotic dentist 6. intergalactic laser warfare | ||
