bruce russell - noh budokan!! out now
vinyl only, edition of 150 🪜
POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED
sound the headcracker claxon! certified lord bruce russell surfaces on the esteemed local absorb imprint with a big fat glob of deviant-finessed scuzz: a zero-dimension infolding of partly-related japanese backroom tour recordings precision-retooled into the Perfect Live Album. herr russell is no stranger to the frankenstein-treated live recording, what with his re-screwings of flying saucer attack live tapes on ‘in search of spaces’ or the living-room-as-arena monstrosity that is ‘clyma est mort’, yet ‘noh budokan!!’ represents perhaps an apotheosis in his enduring quest for ultimate performance-artifice, presenting a series of live accidents across japan & its boondocks as a single ideal corpse of bent electricity. the rooms wherein this swill transpires are varied, from the meditative confines of supernatural deluxe to the grot of ufo, polaris’ concealed basement zen to the sweat box that is hokage, though – bound by the appropriately questionable fidelity of an android phone – the notion of space is flattened, all venues rendered zero-dimension playboxes for anti-aesthete electronics of the most wonderfully scudded varietal. ‘noh budokan!!’ serves a series of delightful cruditès, balancing acts of over/under/un(?)wrought tone that are interrogated with molecular precision, scalped applied to electricity & in turn to your ear. once more using clinton williams’ dirtbox kit & steering hard away from omit’s patented gutter-caked kosmische towards something perhaps better thought of as an adhd m.b., russell’s relatively new electronic praxis retains his signature restlessness, here laid out as a suite of high-wire manglings of pure electric tone that fixate upon a current, hurtling it down a mono tunnel into the cranium & puttifying it within the innermost crevice before it disintegrates & russell moves on to the next signal. gliding crystal-shard drones jut up against stutterance, ascetic skronk finessed into bent etude, electric roughage massing into fatbergs of convulsing muck, bottoming out into silence as are dragged into the next room.

⭕️ ‘disaster 1’ by bodies of divine infinite and eternal spirit ~~ in case you missed it ⭕ Recorded sweating through a 40-degree day in a single take, later joined by a choir who learned the piece the day they sang it. Mixed live in one take too, disaster 1 captures the project at its purest, immediate and uncompromised. More interested in what music can activate between people than what a record is supposed to sound like, bodies embraces uncertainty and imperfection. Out through @_absorb__ ⭕️⭕️⭕️
