Brain Collider tape

Brain Collider tape

Somehow I completely missed out on Hardon Collider until a few weeks ago, when he played at Far House. Totally unexpected and awesome explosion of glitch-fried circuitbent breakcore noise mayhem. I got a CD-r from him, but it looks like it actually came out in 2012, so I’m not going to review it. I also got this tape, and I have no clue if it’s new or not, but I’m going to assume it is. I’m not sure who the “Brain” part is, but this takes the trashy, glitchy, electro-fried sonic mess of Hardon Collider and melds it with a blasted-out noise-rock band. Generally slow, loose guitar and drum rhythms scarred and smeared with filth-covered electronic feedback. The wavering sound quality of the cassette makes it even more unhinged. Lots of blurry, hidden voices behind everything too; sometimes it sounds like some sort of Middle Eastern music, and the second side has clips from some cartoon show featuring McDonald’s characters. Not a whole lot of sense being made here, but it’s all in ridiculous, trashy fun.
