Nite Shadez<\/a> – Black Holes For The Face And A Graveyard C47<\/p>\n

Out-of-Body Records<\/a><\/p>\n

Out of Body Records and Rob Buttrum literally never cease to impress me with fantastic aesthetic and a brand that is somehow \u201cso Texas\u201d in the weirdest and most sinister way possible. Black Holes For The Face and A Graveyard is the latest tape from the Nite Shadez project, a duo consisting of Rob Buttrum and Andrew Michael. The mood here is consistent with Out of Body\u2019s regular output, and the influence that Buttrum has on the music shines through. A lot of similarities are to be found with this project and Filth, Buttrum\u2019s solo project that swept the noise scene with the devastating Winter Mind in 2011.<\/p>\n

Nite Shadez takes on way more of a cut-up sound; the massive, bass heavy aura that this tape presents is punctuated by nauseating, mangled sounds that, at times, swim through one\u2019s head uneasily only to churn in a racing abyss of blown out, VHS-era blackened distortion. Imagine Sick Llama but much more menacing. While the A side presents the busier aspect of Nite Shadez, side B contains more of a subdued, nuanced side of the project and is, I think, much more interesting. Soaring spaces of synth blackness pervade every part of the sounds here. This track starts to meander a bit near the end, but the nasty, distorted glitching drums mixed with the deep drones sound really awesome.<\/p>\n

Listening to Nite Shadez reminds me things like tweaked out dudes pissing their lives away in lonely desert auto shops. A mash up of sounds from a bygone era with a real sense of disgust, despair and hopelessness throughout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
