NO EYES: idk
Just months after releasing a
devastating album with a lengthy emotional title, Atlanta’s NO EYES surfaces on Kitty On Fire with
another one with a name that suggests a careless shrug, but clearly has a lot more on its consciousness. Opener “i succ at life” starts out as a vaporwave smudge, then develops pulled-apart glitch-breaks and dovetails into harsh furious breakcore. Then later on there’s an extended monologue about reacting to racist violence by being violent against racists. “ucantsilencemii” contains a lesson about not believing predictions that don’t empower you. “lovelostbutnotforgotten” extends past 7 minutes and burns in a shoegaze fire in the most glorious way. x.nte and Elevation help add some combusting juke-core rhythms to “shitIamstillhere”, surrounding a National Weather Service announcement with monsoons of distorted breaks. “333” with Deantoni Parks piles up the data from a billion bursting screens, broadcasting the dystopian future in the present. “no home 2 go 2″… just another torrent of internal emptiness translated into a firestorm of noisy breakbeats and a rapid bitstream of decimated pop culture samples. How often are you this? Every moment of my life.
