CREP 115LP
|
Long and intermittent running duo of Discrepant head honcho Gonçalo F Cardoso and Angela Valid's Alex Jones, with sometime collaborator Phil Laney aka Kenny Hosepipe joining in somewhere along the way, Hair & Treasure crossover from Sucata Tapes to Discrepant wax via Disc Rot. Described by the duo, in their cryptic and scatological fashion, as "a fetid spread from the buttery catacombs of Hair & Treasure," one can only speculate on the mindset, if not for the scenario, for these file swap recording sessions. As if decaying throughout this back and forth process, the synthscapes, field recordings, voices from who knows where, and subliminal pulses assembled in these 11 pieces all coalesce into this out-there murk where invocations of "a" real are mangled into unhinged, squinting eyes moments of near-consciousness. Compared to previous Hair & Treasure ventures like Two Fucking Tapes or Forked Piss Blues, Disc Rot forgoes side-long tapestries by focusing on shorter and clearer transmissions from the netherworld. Still, the feeling of pieces of discarded hardware and sound hubris lying around and turned music of the duo remains unscathed, filtered through a newfound precision. After the opening feverish threat of "Warm Night," the suspended synth pads and working machinery of "Byzantine Turd Skirt" actually comes as a relief, pulling away (a bit) of the dread to resurface with the Texas Chainsaw Massacre OST ambience of "Amateur Depravity" and 2004-ish Midwest noise stylings of "Busy Hubby's Flight to Gstaad" and "Tit Ale." "Roads Gonad Today" and "Just Jerkers" are not that far removed from a lower fidelity take on Black Dice circa "Creature Comforts," while "Professional Babies" goes back a couple of years to their collabs with Wolf Eyes, but mostly, all of this sounds like nothing but Hair & Treasure themselves.

Brand new 70-minute blast from the Hair & Treasure crew pressed a double dung casing for your listening (dis)pleasure. Recorded between 2017-2019 into Uncle Eddie's VHS player, magik happens inside the Archers boudoir. In the band's own words: "A clumsy wife with a tricky nose wants to feel deserving of her husband and a former male beauty pageant winner wants his out-of-place arm implants revised or removed. Rating 6.2".

Gonçalo F Cardoso and Alex Jones return to Discrepant under the new Sucata Tapes banner. Joined by Kenny "PL" Hosepipe on violin/effects -- bringing the do-si-do down your ramp. High puking their way through the desolate western sky, cackling all night long on the little house in prairie's backyard -- there were no stars on this perimeter, everyone was happy.
