\nPestdemon<\/a> – Doppelg\u00e4nger C30
\nUnrest Productions<\/a><\/p>\n

Doppelg\u00e4nger is Pestdemon\u2019s latest output on Unrest Productions, a label boasting an array of artists such as Richard Ramirez, Gelsomina, and Black Leather Jesus. With an amalgamation of sounds centered on a solid, wall noise base, this cassette provides a sense of mystery and familiarity simultaneously.<\/p>\n

Consisting of heavy electronics and mostly wall noise, Pestdemon provides a slow but tense buildup on Hems\u00f6kelse \u2013 Ritual<\/em>. The tones shift in a subtle but consistent fashion; high frequency background noises rise out of the mist and industrial noise matches the groaning, crackling distortion. The sounds are wavering and changing at a constant rate. Begravningsskepnad – \u00c5syn<\/em> is a departure from the previous track. Starting with a minimal and dismal piano piece, the track slowly evolves into noise matched with operatic singing. The effect is surprisingly appropriate and the singing voice matches the noise entirely. This track is very well composed and thoughtful of how harsh noise would interact with more musical elements in a way that doesn\u2019t diminish either element.<\/p>\n

Overall, Doppelg\u00e4nger is a decidedly restrained work that avoids being unnecessarily minimal but is highly composed and highly engrossing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
