Oh yeah forgot about that lol. I'll listen to the whole thing again and report back with a review tomorrow.

I just noticed your stuff isn't on RYM, Kiii. Why is that?

Key · 12-14-2018, 09:36 PM

Because I don't know how to use RYM and it scares me. That and I just haven't bothered.

She has been referred to, by people who don't like her singing style so much, as the "retarded elf". I guess that I get what those people are getting at, but I really like her music, especially the Divers album.

Cats With Hats - Twins

This album (more of an EP with that length) is basically 16 minutes of auditory claustrophobia and psychological horror. It's one of the more angular and computerized noise records I've heard in recent memory, with discordant, shrill tones stuttering painfully along to harsh walls of dark ambient. Twins sounds like the soundtrack to an IBM laptop's worst nightmare.

While such a sound isn't really my cup of tea, the overload of dissonance on the part of the aforementioned synths gives the occasional melody quite a bit of weight. The best example of this is at the end of 'Nobody Else is Here', where the distortion suddenly disperses, shifting the backing piano melody to the forefront and similarly shifting itself to the distant background. It's the occasional moments where the insane takes a turn for the sane that shine the most on this record.

Overall though the sonic horror that this album utilizes is a bit too much to handle in a single sitting, both in how jarring it is and how it gets a bit samey by the time you reach track 5. Still, it's not horrible for a noise record.

My biggest gripe with it is the cover art. Why the **** can I see the pixels, Kiii? Export it to PNG you buffoon.

I want to give you an opinion that's not dog**** so I want to listen to at least part of the 2 hour long thing before I give you my honest thoughts.

Pretty good. A bit too lo-fi and de-emphasized, but there's some real neat ideas at play. Plastination is a banger.

I just feel like I should spam this thread for the irony

song title being a direct reference to Ear Wax (Munich,1970) I believe)

I love Bauhaus. Gothic rock and post-punk brilliantly combined, which is something I believe The Cult tried doing on their first record to a similarly interesting, albeit different effect.
