Noizy B demo mix

Here's a promo mix of my amateurishly ambitious mutant garage/dubstep/whatever stuff. Starts off with minimal 2-step and gets psychotic about 25 minutes in.

Blessed End - Movin' On (1971)

I know I've been away for a while, walk it off you crybabies.
To make assistance for crybaby walking, here is downer organ psych gem. This record came out around about the time Jim Morrison died, and I'd say The Doors + the cold embrace of the grave is a pretty good formula for describing this record. Far less pretentious and flamboyant than Morrison and co, this has a gritty real people vibe and direct downer lyrics (this is PA not LA). Powerful vocal performance that reminds me of Sinatra's most downcast moments. No distortion or fuzz here but plenty of doomed, quasi-proto-goth atmospheres.

Noizy B - Skulled Out

Weird dubstep tune I've just finished. Distorted bass. Broken rhythms. Etc.

Meat Puppets - First LP Session Outtakes (1981)




You should own this record. If you don't, buy it. Some versions on here are even more twisted than the actual LP.


Paternoster - Paternoster (1972)


Nightmarish, organ-led heavy prog/proto-proto-proto-funeral doom from early 70s Austria. Lengthy instrumental passages dominated by eldritch pipe organ and fuzzed-out, near-black metal guitar are interspersed with harrowed, mock-operatic vocals hymning frustration and despair. Standout track "Stop These Lines" goes from almost ludicrous descriptions of mundanity ("Lunchtime snackbar eating chips, ketchup dripping down your lips") into the repeated, impassioned plea to "stop these lines". Elsewhere, "Paternoster" and "The Pope is Wrong" turn the formal liturgies of the catholic church into bitter hymns of cynicism. The closing "Mammoth Opus O" sees fragments of oompah melodies drawn into the quagmire. Original copies of this gem will set you back at least a grand, so thank the lord for piracy!
