Comment: this batch of 10 compositions can be considered as one monolithic track because it consists of very minimally changed phases as if My Bloody Valentine were standing somewhere under a tremendous waterfall. Yet it is the album having nothing to do with shoegaze. Because My Bloody Valentine under an imposing waterfall can not be a shoegaze case at all. Glenn Branca to be set up under a waterfall? More profoundly, you are directed to a hiss loaded droning universe of energy where you can make decisions on sonic intensity, energetic consumption and burning and mere, almost invisible dodges only. However, it is enough to make difference. Furthermore, even if you thought of it as something excessively primitive at a first glance you soon got realized of it as quite sinister and totally overwhelming. At some point you are not reflecting upon it, it reflects upon you. That's the case. Behind visible sonic carpets one can perceive even more invisible ones which used to resonate with one another and thereof produce new templates again and again. There are connected the physical and mental power of music as a phenomenon. Real, existing sounds are created in the way to induce chimeras and phantasms. Vectors, inner impulses and inertia are seamlessly intertwined into ghastly landscapes. Call it hisswave on its own way. And although it seems to be ominous it is beautiful and wondrous either. This stunning release is a part of the discography of the enoughrecords, the legendary Portuguese imprint.
