Review: LA Vampires – Cassingle (Not Not Fun)

Artist: LA Vampires Album: Cassingle Label: Not Not Fun Year: 2009? Format: c-10 A totally weirdo single emerges from a dark closet of this Los Angeles based noise goddess. This lady’s got a vintage jazzy groove hidden among her hat boxes and moth balls as well as an arsenal of spacey whirs and squeaks. Side [...]

Artist: Antihuman Album: Annular Cancer Label: Somnolent Shelter Records Year: February 13th, 2010 Format: CDr Super violent noise lives here. For the most parts it’s dynamic and powerful noise that pervades most tracks. Sqeels and glitches creep in. Sweeps of subdued static here and there.
