Crowhurst is a band (And I use that term loosely,
because it’s more of a collection of like minded individuals operating with,
but mostly, Jay Gambit) that I first found because of, I believe, their
involvement with Static Reason, which they then lead me to Tanner Garza and a
number of other names that I seemingly listen to on end these days. At one point, I had tried to download and
review all of their music, but such feats these days elude me because of time
and the overwhelming number of artists I would like to review full
discographies for but I feel so far behind on.
Needless to say, I have heard a great deal of
Crowhurst and whether or not I’ve reviewed any of it is lost on me at the
moment, though I know that this is most certainly my first cassette review for
them.
When peaceful, Crowhurst brings out the static noise
that could come from a television set, late at night as someone has fallen
asleep and the channel they were watching had stopped broadcasting. But Crowhurst can also be downright
terrifying. Their music can be the
audio capture of destruction. It is
loud. It is the sound of the entire
world crumbling down around you.
The first two songs on here feature guest vocals from
Dorian Wood, who screams and speaks in a manner that can most certainly
frighten children. He enhances the
sort of metal vibe that Crowhurst can bring out just as easily on their own.
Side B is live and I love nothing more than
improvised sounding noise such as this.
A must have for fans of Crowhurst, this cassette is also just worth
listening to whatever your genre of choice might be.
