No Dreams - Pessimistic Subsidence (Cassette C30, Depravity 2013)



No Dreams is a project from Omar Gonzalez and has only one release so far.

'Finding The Insignificance In All Things', the first track, begins with slow, reverbed bangs and white noise, which are followed later on by percussive sounds and distant junk metal. The white noise (that sounds allot like rain) becomes more electronic and the junk metal gets more intensified while switching more and more to the foreground. Towards the end everything calms down again. A very dark and eerie track.

In 'The Nausea / The Guilt I Feel' I can hear the sounds made from a lifeform, most likely a human being. It almost sounds like someone is busy, searching something he can't find. On the background are outside sounds, from a distant freeway perhaps, and also train-like sounds. The whole track has a cinematic but also voyeuristic feeling to it, like listening to someones activities. At the end noise and other strange sounds (synth?) comes in to mistify the main sounds. I especially liked this track, because it gave me this strange feeling. But the first one is also very interesting.

It was still available on Discogs when I last checked.
So definitely check this one out, if you can find it.
