Vehement Caress<\/a> – Cachexia C20<\/p>\n

Apicult Recordings<\/p>\n

Here’s another really great tape from Boston’s own Vehement Caress. Represented here is a great convergence of throbbing industrial, lo-fi harsh noise, and heavy drone.<\/p>\n

Side A features several tracks, the first of which is a pummelling industrial anthem very much reminding me of older Brighter Death Now. There are no vocals, so it doesn’t meander into the realm of power electronics – it remains pure death industrial. The following tracks are shorter outings wandering in the grungy noise realm, reminding me of some of Wolf Eyes’ more lo-fi experiments. The poor quality adds the rough edge though and it comes off as intentional and effective.<\/p>\n

Side B features one long droning track that builds perfectly to a carefully crafted filtered drone. Soon falling into noise destruction via a beautiful choral sample. The flow of this side is quite immaculate working in and out of heavy walls of thick distortion into floating ambience and heavenly choral samples.<\/p>\n

Yet another great release from this underrated Boston noise artist. An excellent mix of carefully constructed compositions merging with simple noise experiments. Good work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
