April Chest - Dog's Tongue With Special White Sauce CS [ODMOWA] : The label boss plays / edits other people's sounds along with his own. Sounds from Margolis, Bloor, Humectant Interruption to name a few. Two side-long tracks, but i shouldnt call them tracks since there are several sketches / parts / whatnot in there. What was found in the chest. Side A is a sound collage. Starts with something like a 'lowercase' field recording of the pre-recording, i suppose / i imagine, and after that anything happens, noise slabs come, stay, go, and come again, samples -spoken or music-, clean or manipulated, accompanied with noise or not. At the second listening i found it more cohesive than the first and i enjoyed more. Still, depending on the mood it can be a bit confusing, challenging.
Things are clarified at Side B. 2 noise tracks covering half of the side. The first which i like more i bet is with Knurl's sounds. Part of it with crying violin chords -it is violin, isnt it ? I wouldnt be surprised if it was a squealing door, but no, it's violin- and chains, metal tools. Perfect combination ! - Then, a couple 'lowercase' loops from the material that starts the tape, and a repeated always-slightly-pitched modulated voice sample. Guy wants to test our loyalty or endurance or to put us to sleep, so the loops are gone, we are with the voice sample alone for 10 minutes till the end. Always slightly slowly changing. The fact that just before the tape ends the volume fades out, i take it as subtle humour, haha. -Note: I couldnt conclude what the voice really says, after all-
It's not a more of the same tape. If you are into more weird stuff definetely give it a try. - What i must praise is the excellent tasty sound all around, the hands-on approach, and i dont know how this was recorded but gives you the feeling that's an edit of several live air recordings. Has 'space' / depth .
