NEW EDIBLES AT THE RAINBOW CAMP

New uploads at the Rainbow Bridge Bandcamp page due to the out-of-print-ness of it all. Or the lack of ever printing a damn thing.

• GROUND ZERO MOSQUE/INAPPROPRIATE KING LIVE/PREGNANT SPORE SPLIT C20 (800 WILD)
• FALSE FLAG "CORPORATISM" NET RELEASE (DATAHEX)
• JAMES DOUGLAS/+LESSONS SPLIT/COLLABORATION 3XCDR (EGYPTIAN TEA)

That's about it for now. Clog your hard drives and forget about the meaningfulness and genuine nature of holding a physical release in your hands.

CINCINNATUS C - SELF-TITLED CDR OUT NOW

Cincinnatus C - Self-Titled CDr - RB-130

One of the best strange-harsh-noise acts in existence. I've known Craig Hodgkins since he moved from Pittsburgh to Philly to DC to Pittsburgh again. Over this time, he has become one of my favorite singer/noise-writers of all time. Creative and deserving of a thousand times more recognition and praise. These pieces need your full attention to experience how they move. Sound clips do no justice for evolution. Undeniable growth in glitchy squeals and thin, sputtering, sparkling walls with a deep, emotive tinge. Movie clips, entrancing loops, chewy feedback manipulation, snuck-in melodic atmospheres, free-as-fuck speech. Careful concentration meets heavy anxiety. For fans of Chefkirk, Budweiser Sprite/Glom, Nkondi, Collapsed Arc/David Russell and Prurient. Comparisons can be unnecessary or unconvincing, but that's the best I can put it, and I believe it to be really fucking accurate.

Professionally printed, hand-numbered artwork on card-stock in clear plastic sleeves with hand-stamped CDrs. Limited to 50.

Summon Thrull - Spire Hell Heap review

Moving to a local artist, Summon Thrull, who curiously isn't playing at the Debacle Fest this year. Dustin Kochel, the dude behind ST, also mastered the Hobo Cubes record above so there's some Seattle noise trivia to keep in your back pocket. Kochel dropped his first Summon Thrull CD-r back in 2009 and followed it up with last year's Debacle disc Spire Hell Heap (also released on cassette via Rainbow Bridge.) It's been a while since I've listened to Kochel's debut and I remember it being pretty good but I definitely think Spire Hell Heap is a more developed piece of work and it's pretty kickass to put it simply.
Kicking off with the introduction "Poison Arrow," it's a kind of audio molotov cocktail, 3 parts noise 1 part hip-hop. "Even the Horses are Cut in Half" never lets you settle for a second. Kochel tries to calm you down a little by spreading some keyboard plinks over of the top of arrhythmic thumps and dilapidated roars but a little keyboard shimmer only goes so far. I'm still feeling mighty uneasy. "Fang Venom Duct" cranks up the fuzz. There's a nice little hip-hop-style interlude before the thing just fuckin' erupts in nasty synths and crush 'em noise. The intro to "Illicium" sounds practically crunk, dude I love this shit! It's not as zonked as Yo-Yo Dieting and as far as I can tell Kochel isn't sampling rap songs but I sense a vague similarity. This is an icy club jam obliterated. "Skin Scrape" sounds like its title, creepy, rough and scabby. Some kind of hardware is being thrown around amongst spooky synth and whispers. The back half of the track gets scratchy as well with what sounds like layered field recordings of something trudging through the woods. "Rusted Pike Driver" brings back the beats while "Yellow Lab Blowjob" seethes and hisses with feedback. The title track is sort of a combination of those two, thudding beats but a shit ton of feedback caked on top. Kochel pulls the reigns just enough to momentarily reveal a song underneath before the electronic percussion starts pounding again. "Spider Mites" is much heavier on synths, they glide but, man, do they sting. There's no sort of aural relaxation going on here. The finale "Pregnant Leach Solution" (what is this pregnant leach problem?) begins with an aggressive chopper-blade synth and a bunch of bent bell tones. The kind of thing that might give you a concussion or a seizure or both. It fogs up your mind and not in that pleasant psychedelic way people speak about. People get institutionalized after listening to this kind of shit.
I think the disc could be trimmed down a little here or there, but in general I really love Kochel's vibe. He manages to be harsh without being "harsh," he does use distortion but he doesn't drown everything in it. It's more the volume, the mastering and the brute force of the sounds themselves and the off-kilter way Kochel attacks you with them. This isn't the kind of thing I like listening to everyday (or even every week) but every time I put this on I'm impressed by it's intensity and some of the unique pieces Kochel comes up with. I'm looking forward to seeing what Summon Thrull serves up with next.
The Hobo Cubes disc is sold-out but the Summon Thrull jammer (the cooler of the two in my opinion) is still readily available fromDebacle. Check 'em out! And also be sure to head out to Debacle Fest 2012 if you're in the Seattle-area this weekend.

NEW IN DISTRO: PREGNANT SPORE/NODOLBY SPLIT 1-SIDED LP

Pregnant Spore/Nodolby - split one-sided 12" LP

The first Pregnant Spore composition put to vinyl. Pulsating, hypnotic, driving, jagged, bizarre. Dedicated to the repetitious and strikingly curious recurrence of the number "229" throughout the life of Justin Marc Lloyd. From the label: "Thirteen lucky minutes of blown out blissful chaos, manic mushroom musique, action malfunction, lo-fi riffs, all mangled marvelously. Limited pressing of 52, in painted/stencilled jackets, with various inserts (vintage book clippings, et al.)"

New Review: Inappropriate King Live/Scant split

Inappropriate King Live / Scant – Split C50

Rainbow Bridge Recordings

Inappropriate King Live is yet another project of the ever present Justin Marc Lloyd. The sounds here are weirder than his usual fare and I daresay some of his best work to date. Scant is the HNW project of Matt Boettke of Sex Complex. Together, I would say the combination of artists on this split is a jarring and unusual one, but overall the material is solid.

The Inappropriate King Live side is a dense, swirling work of altered field recordings mashed up into bizarre sound collage. The sounds here are broken and distorted; strange loops take the forefront to create weird, Kafka-esque atmospheres. Slowed down vocal samples seep out of the peculiar blend of squeaking, squawking textures and found sound weirdness. Brighter tones back the cut up sounds while bass-y sections prevent the piece from getting redundant. The sections are long and played out and nearly psychedelic in their own entrancing way. Atmospheric change makes for an experience that creates aural environments just beyond the threshold of recognizing the sound source. Highly experimental and variable is, overall, what Inappropriate King Live brings to the table.

The Scant side provides pretty typical fare in the harsh noise wall genre. I can’t say that this side did much for me; the movement in sound here is close to nil, though I did appreciate the deep ambient sections backing the wall.

I can’t say the pairing of artists here was particularly effective, but this tape is worth getting at least for the Inappropriate King Live side. The sounds are weird and fresh and worth hearing.

Pregnant Spore - The Self CDr - SOLD OUT/FREE DOWNLOAD

Pregnant Spore - The Self CDr - RB-116

These 24 tracks, some as short as 39 seconds and others nearly 10 minutes long, document a span of 8 months of self-realization and self-actualization. This is quite different from the Growth double CDr put out not too long ago although the strong spiritual elements remain intact. The sonic diversity on this release and its jumping from one idea and mood to the next, track-to-track, archives experiences, thoughts and emotions like files organized into different drawers of the brain. Eerie vocal pleadings, a hand-full of rhythmic cacophonies, sludge-ridden bass, reflective walls of sound, and disfiguring sorcery. No, your speakers aren't cutting out. Your CD player isn't skipping. There are not otherworldly beings trying to catch your attention by interfering with the frequency at which your mobile device sitting by your speakers is operating on. These are mangled vibrations and abstracted energy recorded onto a digital format for you to interpret as you may. Each piece has it's unique direction, and as a whole, this release is like a novel, representing every facet experienced internally in an 8-month excursion through existence.
