Prurient - Pleasure Ground

Pleasure Ground
LOAD 101  LP/CD

As the dust settles and your tinnitus roars back to life, you wonder about PRURIENT. Last year's blast on Load, Black Vase (LOAD 072) went for the jugular from the git go with sporadic percussion and piercing square toned filthy noise. Doubly effective and as nuanced as every boomer in a cluster bomb casing, Pleasure Ground takes this conceit much further in its leather-fisted quest for power.

This time out, Pleasure Ground oozes with a new shade of grey from the krayon set. A new dark waved sensibility takes hold. The seconds after a corpse appears on a riverbank, and the, 'what the fuck am I gonna do' slips from your lips, the Valhalla horn of Prurient trumpets! This takes the difference between a noise record and a damp doomcast and splits the difference with a hot knife. Brutality has a new form as it mows down school cafeterias full of trench-coated losers to a headphone soundtrack of deadly church organ/orgasmz. Dig In Patriot with earbudz jakked to 10!

Pleasure Ground is originally a double cassette release on Hospital Productions (came with a lock of hair!) and this release takes this micro edition masterwork out of the hands of the lathe cut Ebay Nazis and puts it into, you, the consumer's, hands (without the hair this time). With this tool, you have the ultimate jam. Blast this as the cannon fire destroys everything around you and rest soundly that the destruction is mutually assured.
