Prurient
probably doesn’t need an introduction, but this is the project of Domenic
Fernow, which is also the mastermind behind Hospital Productions, a noise label
that launched many of the great names/artists in the noise scene of today. Despiritualized,
a rather short release from Prurient, will make its appearance on Conflict
today.
The
release kicks off with ‘The Other World’. In this track, rhythmic, noisy drones
and feedback seem to be interacting with each other, while short, repeated
intervals of primitive, vocal noise are bursting in. The second track, ‘A.K.A.’,
has some nice layers of darkened drones and smoldering power electronics,
accompanied by delayed vocals and nasty feedback.
On the
other cassette we have ‘When Different Worlds Collide’, a five minute monster
of deranging and disorientating power noise with chaotic feedback and
clattering noise. Here, the sounds are very intense, while in the previous ones
they were more remote. The last track,
called ‘Closing Arguments’, closes off the record with a hypnotic noise, metronome-like rhythm
and short outlets of distorted vocals, drenched in shrieking feedback. This is Perhaps
the calmest track of all four.
With a
dirty and raw sound, this is truly a vintage Prurient record.
The release on cassette is sold out, but is still
available as download.
