Scott Cazan: Swallow LP
On side A, harsh screeching metal, harsh screeching strings. Nervous rattling/tapping, vibrations, and some shattering wave tones. On side B, contact and condenser mics, field recordings, and room tones. Starts out sounding like a supermarket checkout line with a deafening sinewave tone and thudding, trudging rumble which nobody seems to notice or react to. It gets quiet for a bit, but then comes back with more voices (which seem slightly, eerily pitched down), and vibrating tones and some ethereal music. This ends without warning, and a few minutes later you’re facing buzzing, feedback and ring modulated noise, along with bass vibrations nervously being pushed out. The shuttering, splintering (but not overtly harsh) noise continues relentlessly for a while, until it sort of disintegrates into tone clusters.
