Merzbow: Samidara
In honor of Jay Watson’s birthday, here is my attempt to review the Merzbow record he released this year. It’s on “piss yellow” vinyl, but there’s also a cassette release. I never get tired of Merzbow’s music, and this album is a pretty good example of why. Noisy and chaotic and unrelenting, but there’s so much going on. There’s squeaking rhythmic patterns suggesting decaying rhythms, there’s guitar noise feedback, there’s crushed distorted drums. The second side has some sort of mutated funk guitar and fast-forward blastbeat rhythms and tape manipulations. Seriously, the drums on side 2, oh my god.
