Unless – Selftitled (File/download, Selfreleased 2014)



Unless is a fairly new project from the guy behind Black Thread (ambient, tape, loops) that is definitely also worth checking out, if you didn'’t do so already. With Unless he switches to a more brutal and harsh sound.

Just like in Black Thread, broken and fragmented textures return here, but in a much more violent and ravishing way. The noise that he produces in this selftitled album is crowded with strength and is equal to that of a merciless storm. It sounds a bit like HNW, but there are changes to be heard in this blackened mass of powerful noise. It’s also shifting to much to just be a wall of noise. The durations of the four tracks (named i, ii, iii and iv) are very long but don’t get boring at all. They shift from low, jagged and crunched out textures to a more fast and high blasting savagery. And just like with Black Thread the artwork is minimal but very beautiful, with lots of detail.
