Perispirit - Abysmal Penetrations (Cassette, C26, Hospital Productions 2010)




Perispirit is a noise duo that seems to be on a hold since 2012 now. They have quite some releases worth checking out (but hard finding them). “Abysmal Penetrations”, an EP released on Hospital Productions, will be on the board today.

“Abysmal Penetrations” has two tracks counting, “Obsolete Weather Procedures” and “Silver Bath”. They both have some scary electro acoustic sounds going on. Reverbed fieldrecordings, musique concrete, dark, distorted and harmonious drones, ill guitars and submarine sounds, you name it, it’s all there. The tracks have much layers and are very rich in depth and sound, which is a delight to be excavating in the content of these tracks. Like the first one, “Obsolete Weather Procedures”, is like you are sucked into a horror movie or B-film and into the shed of some serial killer with all kinds of tools hanging on the wall. But you could be in a dark space ship as well. Anyway, lots of imagination that can be evoked listening to this track. The second track, “Silver Bath”, is more dramatic and monotonous, with its thick drones and repetitive, ringing guitars, sometimes heading from harmonious to more dissonant tunes.

If one is into the exploring kind of noise, than this is definitely something to check out. The cover is also nice with it’s vintage look. Hospital Productions did a series of the same kind of artwork and layout, and this one is also a part of those releases. It’s no longer available on physical format but still as download.
