What did you guys think of the new Prurient record? It reminded me structurally of Pleasure Ground(4 tracks, 3rd leaned more toward dark ambient side, harsh electronics) but reinvented.
For me, it didn't match up to Frozen Niagara Falls, but it was to be expected. I had hoped he would expand on the sounds he compiled on FNF but it seems like he regressed back into his comfort zone.

Have you by any chance heard the new Radiohead album?
>>64694321
I misread this and thought you meant "Free Radiohead" as in you had download links to the new Radiohead abum. Very disappointed.
please, no
Yes, I heard it. It's ok.
>>64694321
holy shit my ears
this isn't radiohead is it?
Local radio station is playing a set from the label Järtecknet right now. Good stuff
>>64694321
>it didn't match up to Frozen Niagara Falls
It was never supposed to.
>it seems like he regressed back into his comfort zone
So? Prurient, like most noise, has always been diary entries. I don't listen to noise to be blown away by intense musicality or production value, or indeed to compare and contrast releases. It's a movement totally free of that, and that is why I'm drawn to it. Each release is examined on it's own terms and in it's own context. I don't think it is fair to expect a constant, upward trajectory based on stipulated, major studio albums, like you would with... I dunno, Radiohead, for example.
However, that said, it certainly doesn't sound like any kind of comfort zone. UR is pretty unique in Fernow's discography.

refreshing post
would read again
id like to die
Prurient's limited tapes almost never have the scope and depth of his major releases(which isn't to suggest that they're not worth listening to, a lot of my favorite material of his is contained on them), he's explained that they serve as something like research and exploration while the big albums represent the results of that research and exploration. He will occasionally(and I imagine accidentally) deliver what turns out to be a major achievement in the guise of a low-profile cassette edition(see: The Golden Chamber, Cocaine Daughter, Tiger Smells A Corpse, Annihilationist), but for the most part there is a clear cut between those two aspects of the project.
That said, Unknown Rains is a worthy addition to his discography. It's fractured, devastated and genuinely uncomfortable in a way that the project hasn't felt in a long time.

That's cool as hell, Jartecknet is one of the best contemporary Swedish labels for this sort of stuff.
What country/state are you from?
>>64695658
same
>>64695057
i'm assuming you live in gothenburg?
is there an actual fm station there broadcasting the set? that's fucking cool
>>64695246
I knew it wouldn't match up to FNF but I still enjoyed it.
FNF was out of the box. Monumental. It took pieces from every side of prurient's style and created a magnum opus worthy of being a final release.
The thing that draws me to noise is free improvisation. It's always different, no matter what. And it doesn't have that "designed" and "computed" feel that a lot of noise studio albums have, which takes away from the enjoyability. That's what keeps even lazy, staticky, murky, drone noise interesting.
guys I need help. there was an interview with a noise artist (?) who explained why people make noise and glitch art in general. he also talked about the desire of people to push instruments and storage media to its limits. I really really need to find that interview, if anyone has it or knows what I'm talking about, please post a link

I faintly remember Pete Swanson in the People Who Do Noise documentary talking about how it was the celebration of doing things wrong. The guy from Smegma said a similar thing, too, I think? Sort of like what you describe. It's been years since I watched that though.
>>64696335
Thank you!

tbf, the general does have the word "radiohead" in it, it's like honey for flies.
Finally starting pic related, and god damn. I had Alessandro Cortini in my backlog last year and never got to him. I was missing out, his tape on this is superb. Already excited for the rest of it.
