...according to our Ant on 28 August 2008.

Got a new solo album from Windy Weber (of Windy and Carl fame) cheerfully titled 'I Hate People'. You should check the passport photo of her on the front from 1987, she looks like she'd tear your throat out with her bare hands if you as much as looked at her pint. Having said this I'm going to be extremely kind about this record... Not just for fear of my own personal safety but because I actually like the brooding menace that emits from the guitar sounds and distant howls. It's two long tracks. The first is pure guitar drone and feedback layered beautifully to sculpt a kind of bleak and mournful, desolate sound world. The second track 'Destroyed' is probably even darker and almost claustrophobic. It's a marathon 32 minute piece that builds up sinister tones and layers of processed vocals. I'd say this is a lot darker than the stuff I've heard her do with Carl although I'm no expert. The CD is out on Blue Flea and the LP through Kenedik Records.

Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.

What their label says...

Windy Weber, known for being half of the ambient drone duo WINDY & CARL, has recorded a solo album. It is quite different from what you may be thinking – it has none of the soothing characteristics you may be expecting & instead is full of heavy & brooding music. It's comprised of two tracks – Sirens, coming in at 24 minutes, is instrumental & is filled with the sound of guitars crying, rising & falling like waves crashing on the rocks. Sirens is ominous, and haunting. It is not music to sleep to, but instead could make you tense & anxious. The second track is Destroyed. It is 32 minutes long, and comprised of 3 suites. The first being layers of vocals, woven together to make a chorus of breathing & breathlessness, layers to make you feel as if you may be drowning in the sea.....whether that sea be the ocean, or the sea of life, the day to day world in which you must deal. The second suite becomes noisy, agitated, rumbling & distorted guitars, bass & feedback, and makes you sit on the edge of your seat wondering what is about to happen. The third suite takes you to the end of the album with it's subsonic frequencies & strange unrecognizible sounds. This is not music for the faint of heart
