A strange and mysterious cover, from
what seems to be a swimming pool, immediately draws your attention. The green color
and raw contrast make it look like a acid bath where you rather don’t want to
take a swim in.
The content/sounds, represent much of the
artwork itself. Nasty angled and uncomfortable feedback with hook like tones opens up the album. Desperate,
yelling vocals drenched in despair and delay, and subtle crackles of noise quickly
join this chaotic show of “sound violence”. At the mid part the feedback does a short solo piece and is than joined by
distant clattering and rumbling, harsh noise. Here, we also hear a field recording, of
what seems to be children yelling in an big open space, most likely a swimming
pool, which is also portrayed on the cover of this release, like I mentioned
before. Also delayed and looped sounds of voices come in after a while. Chaotic
vocals come in again, making it a sickened mess of sounds.
The other side of this LP begins with
the same intense feedback, but this time with radio like vocals. They start rather remote, but intensify
as the track progresses. Again a field recording with playing and yelling children
(track called “Pink Lycra”) comes in. This time I can really hear the water
flow, so there is no doubt this is actually from a swimming pool. But this track takes much longer than the one on the A-side. The penultimate track "Rule" has
droning high electronics which are accompanied by a voice sample. Reading or talking
about something (unknown to me). The last track “Dead Whore” has ear shredding
and fast feedback, with depraved vocals pushing out the last bits of anger and
hate. Very nice indeed.
