...according to our Phil on Wed 13 Apr, 2011.
This week we got a bunch of cassettes on the Chemical Tapes label which seems like an interesting one to me! Tapes from Maps & Diagrams & Machinefabriek as well as Indian Weapons which is the one I'd picked up for two reasons. One, I like the name and two I've not heard 'em before. You never know if that amazing thing you've been waiting to hear all of your life is around the corner or not. Such is the beauty of checking out new artists! Actually this is Brad Rose (North Sea/ Digitalis dude), Nathan Young (Ajilvsga) and Eden Hemming (Brad's missus and star of Altar Eagle). Anyway on this cassette you get a load of reasonably scary sounding power electronics (not mega harsh stuff in a Merzbow kind of way mind you) There's a slight psychey feel to it but ultimately it's a noisy affair with two tracks spread across a C30 which will slowly fry your brain. Nice!
The first release of Indian Weapons as a trio.
Brad Rose (Digitalis label owner, The North Sea, Altar Eagle) Eden Hemming Rose (Altar
Eagle) and Nathan Young (Ajilvsga).
On Labyrinth, Indian Weapons synthesises the ancestral drumming patterns favoured by
shamans with claustrophobic obsessional electronic rotations to form an aural vehicle for
healing, consciousness expansion, and community building. These trance inducing techniques
incite visionary ecstasy allowing the listener to enter the supernatural world to search for
answers. Radical synth spirits, aleatoric abstractions, electronic evocations and a tyranny of
industrial timbres are woven together to form mazy minimalist motifs.
Psycho-electronic works to form your own personal incantations.
