Cold Spring Records present a unique collaboration between industrial breakbeat pioneers
Meat Beat Manifesto
(
Jack Dangers
) and the undisputed king of Japanese noise,
Merzbow
(
Masami Akita
). "We may not speak the same language, but in the vortex of sound, there's a raw, primal understanding that transcends words. Noise can be art, a visual representation could maybe be
Jackson Pollock
's No 5, a plexus of chaos redefining what music can and could be. Pushing boundaries with Masami wasn't just a musical adventure, it was a masterclass in sonic anarchy" --
Jack Dangers
, January 2024.
Extinct
sees the duo take listeners on a transcendental journey, focusing on the dismantling of beat and structure and recycling the result through layers of beautifully crafted noise and feedback loops, giving birth to new rhythms buried deep in the dirt. The 20-minute opener "!FLAKKA¡" takes constantly evolving breakbeats which are gradually broken down over time, driven through a filter of harsh noise, destroying the old to give birth to the new. Raw and unforgiving, the track is a behemoth that blends mutant forms of broken beats and hints of dub, creating rhythmic noise of the highest caliber in the process. "Burner" takes the record to its ultimate conclusion, the initial drum beat broken down so that it is barely recognizable. Pulsating distortion and high-end audio fragments bleed into each other as the track lumbers forth and destroys everything in its path before slowly unravelling, degrading and falling apart. A harrowing yet somewhat cathartic trip through walls of harsh industrial noise and audio degradation,
Extinct
is a masterful pairing of artists who have delivered something truly unique yet totally relevant. Composed, recorded, and produced November 2023-January 2024 by Jack Dangers and Masami Akita. Art by
Abby Helasdottir
(
Gydja
).
