VASECTOMY PARTY Spectre Shifter CASSETTE (Forever Escaping Boredom)

More heavy, head-scraping electronics from the Forever Escaping Boredom label, Vasectomy Party's Spectre Shifter is a three-song Ep that features three new tracks of frenetic harsh noise from this one man outfit that largely centers around fast-paced blurts of digital squelch, chopped-up glitchery, and blasts of gaseous static, with the occasional film sample introducing the beginning of each track. These various elements all move within a tightly compressed space that gives this the feel of one of The Rita's crackling static noisescapes being played back on a malfunctioning Commodore 64; Vasectomy Party's Hal Harmon unleashes a swarm of glitchy 8-bit tones and bursts of brutal static and sputtering, scraping, spasmodic chaos, passages of obsessive waveform fuckery and chirping Bastard Noise-esque locust violence, and allows them to form into odd rhythmic figures throughout his noisescapes, going from constantly shifting layers of abstract noise to heavy throbbing pneumatic loops. For the most part though the recording settles into a HNW-minded approach with lots of lengthy passages of amplified speakercrunch and cold heavily distorted synth that dominate the soundspace. Over on the second side of the tape, Harmon shifts into more of a psychedelic feel for the sidelong track "Spirit Realm", which quickly moves into a heavy fog of fluttering electronics and cosmic whoosh that starts to resemble a more low-fi C.C.C.C. after awhile, a kind of violent cosmic noise that evokes the fading waveforms rippling out of collapsing stars and vast solar gas-jets, encoded into pure electronic death-waves. - Crucial Blast Mailorder
