You can always rely on Blackest Rainbow to provide you with all your experimental/drone/ outsider/ psyche needs. This week however we're treated to a right old doom fest courtesy of Quttinirpaaq. If you're into Nadja, Melvins, Grey Daturas, Sunn O))), or just sludge and doom in general then I'd recommend checking 'Dragged Through The Streets' out. Slow, heavy and primal rock. Be warned cos the second track has been mastered extremely loud and will have your speakers for breakfast. This one raises the bar adding electronics and layers of noise and feedback but ends before it really gets going. A fine interlude nonetheless. 'The Sea And The Birdman' has some monster chugging riffs and crashing drums. 'Down By The River' is a smashing metal track that wouldn't be out of place on the Neurot label. Lush hand printed and hand written sleeves. A damn fine CD this one.

Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.

What their label says...

Quttinirpaaq is multi instrumentalist Texan Matt Turner, and Dragged Through The Streets sounds to me like what last years weak ass Transformers movie should have looked like... Doom ridden feedback and thundering percussion, weirdo electronics with walls of harsh feedback, screech and squelch lined crust invested sludge, bleak tribal drums with repetetive piano and metallic feedback shuffles, all across 6 tracks. Further releases will soon be seen on Ruralfaune, Reverb Worship, Epicene ESR and more!
