Comment:
yesterday late night I had been listening to Ak'chamel aka The
Giver Of Illness´ issue
The Man Who Drank God (2015) which
was sent to me by generous Field Hymns imprint. It chimed like an
extreme fringe of the New Weird movement as if coming out from a cave
of the Neanderthals. It was sung in low and wobbly chords while
emitting an almost festive milieu from those heathen arrangements.
Thanks to being so wobbly and rough it was an utterly organic
experience. In fact, by listening to the recent issue of six
compositions I felt partly the same feeling. In spite of being
compositionally a bit different by employing guitar chords subverting
filters and effect blocks and stark, intoxicated electronics the
ultimate experience says it is almost about the sort of epic music
(especially at
Francy, which is a 13-minute iterative climax).
I would not dare to call it lo-fi music because similarly to the
aforementioned issue by Ak'chamel it is against the premises of lo-fi
as a genre and attitude either. You can intuit this on the defiant
nature of the issue. For instance, the issue starts off like a lost
form of witch/drag house/newbreed. Later on, it will be mutating into
guitar primitivism, gravitates toward uncanny electronic locations
and the aforementioned minimalistic, slightly spaghetti western-alike
majesty of
Francy. Indeed, it will be the music of a new
breed, more profoundly, for neo(n) zombies. This truly overcoming
outing is a part of the discography of BWAA. All is moving, changing
and disappearing. Heaven knows we will be dust.
