This
cassette brings out one song per side and it really is what I think of in my
head when I think of the term “noise”, as applied to music. There are some slight 8bit noises in here,
but this is just doom. The music comes
through in sonic waves on the first side and there are some speaking parts but
not what I’d refer to as actual vocals.
There
is static. There is destruction. And there is distortion. The first side also ends with a sound clip
that goes through various adjectives (“I want you to make it clean. And if you can’t make it clean, make it messy”)
and ends on “And if you can’t make it noisy, make it stupid”. Often times when I hear audio clips spliced
into the music I don’t always know why the artist did it. Sometimes it makes more sense to me than
other times, and this is one of those times that I get it, in the noise sense
not that this is stupid.
The
second side of this tape, the second song if you will, has more of a distorted
feedback feel to it. In that way, it
begins sounding to me a bit more like “In Utero” than anything else or at least
that’s the strongest point I can grasp onto for comparison in a world where
there isn’t much to grasp at.
It
starts to screech rather sharply, in the way that it could hurt the ears of
dogs or possibly even humans, maybe fend off werewolves. And then there is some kind of buzzing noise
that brings to mind the sound of an electric razor or lawnmower. The
name of this project always reminded me of a butcher for hopefully obvious
reasons and now based on the last track I really do think this Uncle is pretty
handy around the house as well.
