Isn't new good harsh noise covered rather well in the playlist thread? Either way... Heat Signature, Worth, Wince and Body Carve have stood out for me the last couple of years, each in their own way.

Ditto, add to that VMS Elit and Form Hunter

Lots of "contemporary" names mentioned, but a lot of those aren't really that "new", some have been active 5-10 years, even more if we talk about WORTH - going back to WEAK SISTERS and OTHER PEOPLES CHILDREN, which while not as fully realized, still were great and unique HN dating back to 2004.

If we want to keep this thread relevant and useful outside of the PLAYLIST thread, let's talk about the good NEW new... Yes BLIND DATE (have yet to listen to the new CD but have very high hopes, everything I've heard since the beginning has been hard as fuck) and JACKSON-PRATT (a bit less refined still, but the B-side of the tape on New Forces is PERFECT, and everything I'Ve heard shows promise). I'll add STAR... has a really bizarre sound and fresh take on super primitive HN.

Would be fun to hear of more straight up newcomers who come out of nowhere and are both interesting and quality.

I think hearing, knowing and naming the NEW new names is the real challenge? I guess the few who really stay up to date on the newest newcomers to noise and get their music are more qualified than me. But how many people can do that? I appreciate your suggests WCN, because I am not up to the task of staying current.

I think it is relevant to mention PRESAGE. Even though he was in OPC, he left noise around the time I started Weak Sisters. He also did a project called National Therapy which did a tape on Stammer way back when (which only this year learned was actually released)

I just consider his efforts very new, and he rips.

But to stay even more on topic- Richmond, Va has an alright thing going on right now, Xenojothsz is solid wall of sound with a lot of varied intricacy to mention one.

COST
Delivers live, 1/2 of UNEXAMINE, and tape on Dead Gods is an unexpected gloomy hn

Keen to hear this, can you point me toward any further info?

I think he mentions this tape : https://whitecentipedenoise.bigcartel.com/product/star-last-vestige-of-malehood-cs

There is a preview here too :

Brilliant, thanks a lot.

I've been diving in on a few of these recommendations and am enjoying the results. I definitely have not given enough time and patience to listening to new material plus lots of the aesthetics is a massive turn off from many projects, but the quality of the sounds is quite undeniable.

WCN · May 14, 2020, 02:09:55 PM

Yeah, trying to avoid just pointing to artists that I have worked with or plan on working with in the future, but the correlation is predictable.

I've only heard one track from COST, just recently, a longform track from an upcoming compilation and I was blown away. PRESAGE's "Feralheart" tape is a favorite of the last fee years as well.

WOLF CREEK seem to be some pretty exciting Japanese young guns, but haven't really checked them out yet.

Curious what "aesthetics" you're turned off by?

Seconded on Wolf Creek, they are incredible. I've only heard the recorded output but multiple people who have visited Japan have talked about their live sets being the best on a lineup full of all-time legends.

Was just looking through some tapes and will re-visit the PRIMORDIAL WOUND tape from 2018 on Oxen. Remember it being good. Anybody know if that project is still going?

Strangecross · May 14, 2020, 09:15:03 PM

I was also going to mention Primordial Wound. some of his tapes take me back to old Pedestrian Deposit in a slight way of mixing in 'pretty' sounds. I do not think he is active anymore, with some slight chances of small returns.

LASSO WENDY- dead tones, sometimes using original Wasp. highly recommended swampy minimal darkness hn.

PedestrianOrgans · May 14, 2020, 10:59:52 PM

Ironically the tape that started this entire thread is one of my deep needs at the moment, haha.

But I wanted to address Pissoir Rouge, three tapes and now a CD of pure wondrous nasty. Definitely keeping the fire burning, metaphorically speaking.

Came across the name a few times but never heard anything. Interesting lead. Have you heard anything else maybe from the Freedom Club label that seems related? Seems to be a connection to the individual that did HORRIBLE MESS a few years back which was an interesting project...apparently recently in DOGS IN THE MOONLIGHT with another person...
Worth looking into? (man, I love discogs :-) )
