Evil Robot Ted: Ejecta
came back to life this year after a lengthy hiatus, and now there’s a bunch of new tape, CDr and digital releases, and plenty of other releases on other labels by founder Evil Robot Ted.
Ejecta is a 2012
Bandcamp release available as a self-releases CDr and on cassette from
My Shit Eats Tapes. The tracks consist of splintered, fragmented breaks and noise, with scarred ambience shining through. The track “Suburban Black Metal” kind of sums it up for me, it has kind of a walking-around-the-mall-while-being-extremely-fucked-up feel to it. The 6-minute title track is more of a straightforward shredding-noise thing, without beats. The CDr version has live versions of some of the tracks, and the version of “Suburban Black Metal” actually sounds more cleaned up than the remixed version that appears earlier in the disc, while “Dreamt Waster” is a lot rawer and meaner.
Evil Robot Ted: Waster
is longer and less frenetic, it takes more time to build and there’s less breaks and noise. It’s more downtempo and dubbed out, less suburban mall and more rural dystopia. It’s almost like a chopped-n-screwed version of breakcore/noise. Feels like hanging around a junkyard in the dead of winter. The last track is blistering noise, though.
