Tongue Knax is one of the mysterious
projects which appears on the Lust Vessel label. And just like those other projects, it
brings a bleak and uncompromising sound.
The first and second track, “Carnal
Palace Breaker” and “Gospel Of Fair Slit”, exists out of multiple layers, creating
massive depth, such as frantic (‘singing’) feedback that sometimes sounds like
agonizing voices and also roaring, storm like noise. Short duration loops join
in sometimes, oscillating noises as well, and as the track evolves the overall
sound seems to be getting more harsher. Both tracks seem to be following the
same path.
On the second half we have “Imperial
Fiesta” and “Thee Glabrous Xanadu”. They are also similar to the first two
tracks, but in “Imperial Fiesta” the feedback (?) seems to be more controlled
and put in straight tone lines, which seems to form some kind of sinister
melody in the destruction of harsh noise. “Thee Glabrous Xanadu” has much more
oscillating sounds than the other three tracks. Here you can really hear the
presence of monophonic synthesizers, orchestrating some real compelling chaos.
I wouldn’t call it old school noise, but
also not new either. Maybe a mixture of both. Anyway, a great piece of work
that goes right through the bones.
