This
cassette loves black duct tape. The case
is covered in it, sure, but the cassette itself is also covered in it
entirely. I wasn’t sure if this was either
going to be too heavy or too covered to play or if it might get stuck in my
tape player once I put it in there because of all this duct tape, but
everything was fine in that regard.
The
music of HURE begins with stomps. This
kicks into psychedelic rock loops, which for whatever reason remind me of Jane’s
Addiction. There are also some
instrumental industrial pieces in here ala Nine Inch Nails, specifically their earlier
stuff.
It
seems like every track ends on this sharp feedback, though I’m not entirely convinced
that this isn’t just the same track being played over in different ways
somehow. Dark loops give way to an
industrial techno type of feel, and though it is not the same the only name
that pops into my head is KMFDM.
Pieces
of this remind me of Ghost in the Machine, while other bits simply come out as
notes in progressions of four. It’s haunting
and at times there is a messy classic metal rock vibe to it as well, which
somehow brings out Dillinger Escape Plan in my mind. I’d also be upset with myself if I didn’t
mention War Pigs, but overall this cassette can just be hypnotizing and I
definitely enjoy that about it.
