Gnaw Their Tongues: “My Orifices Await Ravaging” (All the Dread Magnificence of Perversity, 2009)Maurice De Jong has many aliases, virtually all of which are new to me, having gone poking around for...

This Heat: “Rainforest” (This Heat, 1979)This Heat’s first proper album is such a far cry from the John Peel Sessions recorded before it. I much prefer this more caustic, tape-infused sound more,...

D.A.S. D.A.: Features, Vol. 4 (Repitch)D.A.S. D.A.’s curious double acronym name comes as a result of its various contributors. Primarily it’s the trio of D.Carbone, Ascion and...

Wolf Eyes: “III” (Slicer, Hanson 2001)Wolf Eyes’ personal brand of experimental music runs the gamut from full-on ear-splitting noise to more curious rhythmic workouts like this one from one of...

Concrete Fence: “Caulk” (New Release (1), Pan 2013)Another nice raw jam from Russell Haswell and Karl Regis O’Connor as Concrete Fence. It’s the creeper sandwiched in between otherwise thick and...

Die Form: “Dog Handler” (Archives & Doküments, Normal 1988)Die Form always seemed like the unsung heroes of innovative and unusual experimental music. At times they veered into almost...
