This
is a split cassette between Sascha Muller, and this is my second time around
there, but it is my first hearing dmvssm.
I’m going to go backwards with this just because of how much I feel I
want to write.
Side
B is for Sascha Muller and it’s an audio clip on repeat and very little
else. I cannot tell you exactly what
the audio clip is saying as I believe it to be either in German or at least
with a thick German accent. It’s
something about being cut, tortured and sex.
Those are the only pieces I can really pick out and the whole idea of it
is rather strange but I haven’t heard anything like it before so listen to it
at least once before answering machine messages become a new genre.
The
first side of this though is by dmvssm and is quite fun. This isn’t from the United States, so I
wonder what “dmvssm” stands for exactly because we have the “DMV” here, which
is the “Department of Motor Vehicles”. The
music reminds me of some 8bit-core sounds like Atari Teenage Riot before incorporating
some shots fired, the build of Pole Position, R2D2 blips and some crashing that
could be close to glitch.
As
much as it sounds like electronic music it has that industrial sound to it as
well, which channels the likes of Front 242 and the static skips, whooshes,
loops, robots and hollow caves of early Nine Inch Nails.
So
the first side of this is quite good and energetic for that matter, while the
second is a little bit calmer and more interesting because you feel like you’re
stuck on an endless loop with propaganda being spoken over speakers in the
streets of your once thriving hometown.
Still, an experience you should have at least once.
