Jazkamer - Art Break

Lasse Marhaug's noise band, now with fewer consonants: punishing distortion and pummeling drums with barely isolable screams and high-pitched feedback---an updated, stripped down, more aggressive Naked City. This is a 15-minute ep with 58 tracks so I won't describe each one, you can just put it on continuous for a bit. There are some longer tracks in the beginning (1: 1'50"; 2: 1:04, 5: :56, 6: 53) but most are under twenty seconds.

Watch the levels!
