Sissy Spacek – Raiser CD
Sissy Spacek
Raiser CD
Helicopter/Troniks, H 164
A Bronson session of Phil Blankenship (The Cherry Point, Troniks), Charlie Mumma, and John Wiese, recorded in Los Angeles, California in 2013. “Nobody but nobody has combined the most physically destructive aspects of harsh noise with the inherent psyche-lashing power of noisecore with as much success (and excess) as those maniacs behind the band Sissy Spacek. Ever since their self-titled debut, these guys have produced a body of work that is both violent and cathartic and sonically challenging, even as they move out of the realm of teeth-gnashing noisegrind into spheres of electro-acoustic experimentation that are often closer in feel and intent to the conceptual found-junk soundscapes of groups like The Haters or Incapacitants. But in any event, you would be wise to expect total sonic terror when throwing anything new from Sissy Spacek onto your deck. Unleashing a hell storm of extreme noise, there's a lot of cut-up/noise collage aesthetic at work here, the blasts of intense feedback and collapsing metal and low-fi noise flayed apart into fragments of screeching debris and sonic rubble, and then stitched back together with a monstrous surgical precision; blasts of shriek are cracked apart and reformed into hiss-streaked fields of disintegrating metal; huge stretches of this disc decompose into pure noise, waves of juddering, jittery static and bass rumble that coagulate into a slab of distortion. Blurts of amorphous low-end slime, the sound completely enveloped in a thick and suffocating fog of fractured electronics, leading straight into a snarling rabid pandemonium that resembles the roar of a steelworks collapsing in on itself as demonic screams flit in and out of phase, whipping through the crumbling carnage.” (Text by Crucial Blast)
