Constrain is the power electronics project from Kevin McEleney, and doesn’t come kindly upon the ears. The tracks of this record are all called Default Trade (1, 2, ..).The first track of this EP is pure hell. Metallic feedback blasts intertwine with heavy electronics that sound like decaying and malfunctioning machines, or machine guns. The speed is fast and there is hardly room to breath. Clattering and ravishing noise continues in the second track, with much similar aspects from the first one. No remorse is given to the listener. The third track starts with a loud feeback salvo, and is than followed by defected, scraping device sounds. Here the sound is more spacious, like it is recorded in a big room. The last track also continues where the last one ended.
This is modern, harsh noise on its best. The tracks are devided into 4, but could easily be seen as a whole. The physical release is long sold out, but it is still available as download. Not for heart patients!
