Grant Evans: Jewels From The House Of Worms
Grant Evans is half of Quiet Evenings (with his wife Rachel Evans, AKA Motion Sickness Of Time Travel) and he records solo material under the name Nova Scotian Arms, but lately he seems to have been using his own name. This is a recent tape on an Australian label, and it does a sort of swirling psych-drone thing, with (on the first side, “House Of Illusions”) a constantly revolving flange effect tying together several strands of electrified organ drone. It erupts into shattering noise around the 10 minute mark, smooths out a bit, and then loops sheets of feedback, all while using the same revolving flange effect. The second side (“Subterfuge”) is a bit calmer, but still has several subtle layers of feedback and static over a contemplative keyboard drone. Around the second half, the noises slowly start to become more aggressive and dismantle the calm drone, and the last 5 minutes or so are more noisy (but not quite harsh) with some elements of the calmer drone flaring up.
