JASON CRUMER "STARE AT THE DEVIL" CD
(Depravity Label 035)

Jason Crumer's seventh album, "Stare at the Devil," is the album the
white-knuckeled noise fanatics have been waiting for, the ones who
can't get enough of the all-harsh short pieces like "Burning in Hell"
or "When the Dust Won't Settle." Instead of building a single piece
over an entire LP side (or CD), "Stare at the Devil" sounds like ten
perfectly constructed noise 7-inch sides, each one different enough
from the others to stand on its own as a fully-formed, perfect track,
but all unified by Crumer's distinctive approach to structure, texture,
and atmosphere.

The album leads with its most snarling track, "Arrogant Self Defense,"
a seven-minute salvo of high-pressure loops and deeply embedded
samples, a split-level world of all-out harshness and narrative disquiet.
Several tracks invoke elements from previous albums: the horn
section from "Disqualifier" adds acoustic tone colors to "Blood and
Tahoe," and "Men of No Substance" has some of the suffocating,
blurred atmospheres as "Future With No Chance" while burning
at a much hotter temperature. The range and intensity of upper-level
frequencies on this album rendered it unable to be pressed to vinyl
in its raw state. This CD provides the most accurate, uncompromised
representation of Crumer's brutal vision.

Crumer refuses to merely churn out product; each album is a
progression and an improvement on the last, and "Stare at the Devil"
absorbs the best elements of prior albums while winding the intensity
up to a near-constant fever pitch. (Chris Sienko - As Loud As Possible)
