RELEASE DATE
1/8/2013
By distorting hard-boiled film music through a cracked, overcast lens,
Diminished Men
refocus their influences into something entirely unique.
Capnomancy
, their second release on the Abduction label, is a collection of stark, exotic instrumentals full of high-tension energy and infected terror. Cloaked in a supernatural fog and man-made electrical storms, chiaroscuro landscapes read like a sci-fi postcard with a giallo ransom note attached. The band's jagged, hard-charging approach evokes images of slit jugulars and accelerated heart rates, all the while swathing you in a blissful claustrophobia, reflecting elements of
Morricone
's dissonant horror scores, gritty noir cues, and the bloodshot nerves of a kratom-hazed
Link Wray
. Distant, searing guitars and pummeling drums seep with slow-pan derangement, panicked suspense and clouded '50s Americana delusion. The smoke clears and reveals a mirage of melancholy
Wenders
-esque backdrops and AM radio nightmares, but quickly returns to some other world that it came from. The final album to be released from his now-defunct Aleph Studio, producer
Randall Dunn
(
Sunn O))),
Earth
,
Secret Chiefs 3
,
Wolves In The Throne Room
, etc.) contributes greatly with his visceral, heavy production, making this album their darkest offering yet. Another bizarre series of degenerate no-hit wonders from the phantom guitars of
Steve Schmitt
, drummer
Dave Abramson
and multi-instrumentalist
Simon Henneman
.
Capnomancy
features guest appearances from members of
Master Musicians Of Bukkake
as well as other Northwest delinquents, saxophonist
Skerik
and vocalist
Sara Johanne
. Extremely limited edition of 400 LP copies.
