Primitive Isolation Tactics – Reluctant Glory CS

Montreal’s Taylor Geddes is a wearer of many hats in the underground:
running the essential noise distro Scream & Writhe as well as his
own imprint (Absurd Exposition), moderator of one of the few noise
forums in existence, show promoter, and now fest curator with the first
year of Initial Shock Fest successfully wrapped up and a second in the
works. Last but far from least (and much deserving of a spotlight) is
Geddes’ work as Primitive Isolation Tactics
With P.I.T., Geddes delves straight into harsh territory. Reluctant
Glory goes full bore into crunching, blown-out tape/metal textures and
slams them up against sputtering and crackling equipment. Broken
electronics compliment HNW crackles while high pitched squelching builds
the tension until an aural pile of metal tumbles forward. Static
swells, carries, bursts and it all fades away with a rusty tape loop.
This is part of the beauty of P.I.T.’s style: the listener is presented
with a buffet of harsh textures not linked to a single subgenre of HN.
Variety is the ever-present secret spice here and it is used carefully. A
high point in P.I.T.’s catalogue to be snatched up by fans and
newcomers alike.
Recycled tapes, recycled tape cases, silk-screened/hand-stamped labels, and two color j-cards printed on recycled paper.
