Uv Ursa Spr - One day in Freud's mind (File, Nahàsh Atrym Productions 2014)



This multi noise project from France brings deafening terror for the last six years. Mostly with split releases from other remarkable artists, like Vomir, Robert Ridley-Shackleton and Aqua-Eroticum. “"One day in Freud's mind"”, the release I’m about to review, seems to be a download-release only, which is defenitely worth checking out.

The selftitled and single track consists out of multiple pieces, especially in the beginning, which seem to be pasted together. After a short time span the sounds gain more continuity. The noise that appears on this record is droney, broodingly dark, crisp and seductive. It varies with sick but docile oscillating, synth sounds, bathing in long delay. Sometimes the synth parts turn into blistering, harsh noise, which gives it a kind of schizophrenic aspect. There are also field recordings to be heard of what seems to be a large hall, museum or station. The sound has a natural reverb of people, talking and walking around. They are overlapped with more, weird synthesizer sounds, steel junk, harsh bursts and iced, noise drones. This is repeated till the end of the track (also notice the short sitar interlude at the very last part, strange indeed).

The label on which this album is released is known for it’s brutal HNW releases, but this is not the case with this audio record. The sounds shift continually over into other noises and structures. Although it seems to be existing out of different parts it also exists as a whole. The artwork has a nice, tactile design, is straight to the point and somewhat shocking. A suggestion for those who like experimental and psychedelic (to a minimal point) noise.
