INFIRMARY "FOLLOW THE EDGES INWARD" - review on UNLISTENABLE MUSIC

Excellent tape from this constantly evolving American noise artist. This one is a Harsh Noise Wall-based release on a label that is mostly oriented to works of that genre, although this project has a variety of sonic facets. The recording on this one is a very high-quality room recording that gives a very powerful atmosphere of the live performance of this artist, which is also impressive. Black and white collage insert in the usual NARCOLEPSIA style with no side-text on the j-card and a small logo of a woman's foot in a high-heeled show. Very nice minimal layout on the cassettes that all have that unique NARCOLEPSIA feel to them. This one stands out from the pack because it is INFIRMARY and you can hear the quality of the distinct sounds captured onto this release. Intense HNW sound that stares into the void, like the central point facing upward on a rotating platform, spiralling a noise vortex into oblivion. On each of the three tracks on this cassette you can hear the sound of the amplifier, even as it turns off ending the recording. This is a nice touch that really takes you into the recording space with the artist and helps to put the sound deeper into our skull. Highly recommended pure noise from an artist with a strong commitment to quality and personal sonic growth, highly recommended as with other releases from this individual.
