Scream & Writhe Forum

I've thought about this for a few months now after having a discussion with a friend, and my top-5 (at this point in time) noise + adjacent releases would be: - Speculum Fight - White Elephant: Monolithic, cascading walls of shimmering drone/noise. - Chop Shop - Scraps: Metallic, static noise blasts...

Death Squad - Evidence Object #8 (c60, no label, 2021) - Archival DS recordings from '95 that seems to have flown under everyone's radar. A-side is VERY primitive microphone/feedback divination. Cosmic emptiness punctuated by Michael's hellish, blown-out yelps. B-side is edits from a tape labeled &q...

Finally have my stereo up and running again. Been enjoying this trifecta of shimmering shredded sound all day: Jeph Jerman - Debitage CS (Unread Records & Tapes) Darksmith Of California - Island Of Stability CS (No Rent) Sewer Election - Skärvor Av LP (Second Sleep) Jeph was ON ONE last year. D...

Star - Yutris (c90, I Am Elegant, 2021) Você gostaria de ser Supercore e você é. Ah, it feels nice to wade in the waters of total confusion again. Star/IAE have consistently brought an anything goes/nothing coheres approach to their sound/visuals and this weird fucker is no exception. Seperated into...

Polish_20220116_174443548.jpg Baptist Skin Communiti - False Start 1992-1999 (2xc60, Trash Ritual, 2007) Four sidelong tracks culled from four barely-existent tapes from the nineties. Texan noise supergroup spearheaded by William Cast and featuring Richard Ramirez and all of his BLJ cronies of that...

I almost exclusively use barely functional analog non-gear. Sticks, wire brushes, hand"made" anti-records, mics salvaged from old headphones, and most importantly: tapes. Lots of 'em. Stretched, looped, disassembled, heat/substance treated, etc., recorded and played back with all manner of...

Barrett E. Lediard out of Toronto. I think/write about noise a whole lot and keep the grifters at bay in the Noise Now Playing group on Facebook (the single reason I still navigate the FB hellscape). I work with sound as Toanche Dwelling and collaborate with another local tape hermit as DM/VFM. Glad...

I deal with pretty severe OCD (the real deal), and am constantly getting myself stuck within rigid listening guidelines that cause me to repeat the same handful of releases constantly (with new arrivals getting one listen before shelving). I've since started listening through my collection alphabeti...

Well, this is a pleasant surprise!
