Crest Fear Blur : Lutheran

track one Bouncy Tits stars us off with a
three second sample of what seems to be
a whimsical bluegrass bands plucking away,
it turns right into computer glitch noise,
that sounds like a busy office, like the
sound track too 9to5 if dolly parton was a robot,

the overall sound and direction of the album
has a focus on the harsh Merzbow influenced
music as terrorism ideal, at the same time
track two takes us in another direction and
has a much softer and engaging texture,
it features folk noise looping ambient
background sounds and more delicate layers,
track three takes us back into glitchy heaven,
but track four follows the softer theme and is a gentle
exploration of quiet blips and strings,

i find it hard to get fully involved with this release,
i just personally cant feel it as much as some other
computer noise outings, overall though its done well,
and i cant give any critical observations, nothing useful,
the art throws me off a bit though too, i got it as a zip file
and the art was a badly resized blurry picture of a trading card,
and the other insert was a traced computer drawing of shrek and donkey,
i feel uninspired and disconnected from the aesthetic,


this is out on a online label called proc records
