Weak Sisters – Subterfuge (Cassette, Basement Tapes 2006)



Weak Sisters is a kind of mysterious project. Not much is out there of info, as there is many of the new artists today. Bobby Worth seems to be the founder of this project and this is his first release, dating from 2006. The tracks on this record are all rather short; seven tracks, going from 00:27 to 04:53 as being the longest. But they are all very good.

Tape-manipulation and lo-fi noise mingles with voice samples and deranged synthesizer sounds. Weird loops are crashing into low ranged noise and decaying field recordings are giving up their last breath. Everything is broken here. Broken and covered with huge layers of dust. These sloped structures show no empathy or feelings at all. It’s just straight forward rubble and chaos.

Although with seven separated tracks and all different titles, this release should be seen as one continuous massacre of sound. The overall sound feels environmental, old and has a vintage esthetics to it, much similar to the works of K.P.. A short but strong release.
