Growing - All the Way

GrowingWhat should we expect, clean drones, usual fun, endless sonority? It's all there and proudly recorded in excellent quality. 6 tracks, that, in all honesty could have been without the slightly predictable fades and a little bit more work, a one track CD. The swellings and rhythmic river sometimes unbalanced me, like a loss of liquid from the ear. However, one quick negative, i found in some places the sound to be a bit dated, to say these guys have been rolling for at least 7 years. The guitar drones are great, great big thick deep textures sliced into manageable beat cakes. But the twinkly shooting star electro-ness (on track 3, "Rave Pie Only" for example) are a bit, well, camp. I think my favourite track was "Reconstruction", it had the funk feel to it, and also was quite visually creative, a slight soundscape, Straßenverkehr of the future. I liked this CD although wasn't really so challenging as i would have expected from Growing.

MOUTHUS

Best of the recent Our Mouth stuff is the first Sullivan solo CD-R. Sullivan's comes under the name Eskimo King, and /Tooth-Shaped Migration/ is five thick, detailed chunks of sound spread over a quick 17 minutes. What I dig most about Sullivan is his wide-open outlook on what sounds are worth making. Mouthus may concoct a lot of deep, textured noise, but they also use acoustic guitar loops, dirgey metal-like stomps, polyrhtyhmic meditations, busted rock riffs, and tons more.

„Nein, nein, kein Soundtrack! Wir kombinieren nur die Stücke auf unseren Alben - wir schneiden erstmal alles auf Band mit, um dann, vielleicht Monate später, zu sagen: Oh, das hier passt ja thematisch zu diesem Stück und auch zu jenem. Oder: Dieses Stück würden zu jenen Anderen passen, wäre es nicht so grottenschlecht. Also: Trash it.” Brian Sullivan/HE Interview
