NO EYES: Some days i’m completely vulnerable I can feel everything.
For over a decade, Atlanta’s NO EYES has been making remarkable music that points to what breakcore could evolve into. His music is far away from the melancholy atmospheric jungle or watered-down digital hardcore that most people associate with breakcore these days, it’s much more like x.nte’s abrasive, overwhelming data-mashing.
This new album starts out with frustrated footwork jungle that slips and falls on a heavy syrup stream, with guest production by Teklifer DJ Manny. “da wut good” is the overloaded centerpiece, somehow concealing orchestral arrangements/samples inside a glitch tornado. “blay” has this moment where a James Brown drum sample is being bitcrunched, and then it bursts into this sonic boom mindfuzz out of nowhere. Then “going fast” is disorienting panic rap played at 500BPM. NO EYES maxes out all the emotions until everything’s a massive chaotic blur of numbness, and just keeps drilling away because there’s no way to slow down or turn off, only blast into other directions. I love his music so much.
