Last Days At Hot Slit is named after Andrea Dworkin's book and is the latest album by Dunn With Lords and Lady Kevin who are Trevor Dunn, Gina Skwoz and Kevin Rutmanis who have made an album of improvised Avant Garde noise core blues and gospel.
The A side opens with the slow core Despair dark psychotic guitars and horrorcore vocals. Devil Woman is as far from the Mingus original as you can get, this is ambient pleading or the hope that a Devil Woman might save him from the clattering percussive ambience surrounding him.
Hell Better is odd scattergun noises, muffled vocals, tribalistic drums being mauled by insensitive noise mongers.
HIQ 82 has the raw hardcore 82 sound, that needs an atavistic video to go with this song, that could have been on a R.O.I.R compilation. Buzzing motorbike engines, stalling brakes, insane cacophony blast core adventures and games.
Side one closes with the gamelan like madness of HUMANITY One, we've really lost the plot this time, 50 ideas competing at once, mind mauling Branca walls of noise, slow spoken word interludes, scraping nail guitars, cut up slowed vocals.
The B side opens with Last Days At Hot Slit that has a Done Dun feel screeds of noise over mantra vocals in the madness, collapsing around them, mendicant drum maulings.
Lazarus has his tale retold in a weird nightmare ambient noise weirdness, Obnox meets Zeena Parkins on Special K in a total deep spin.
Monday has a slow walk around a supermarket feel, chilled and relaxed on my normal day off feel, trudging on spaced out keyboards float through this, Monday morning seizure mind collapsing comedown, funereal pace unable to stir much.
Shape is well odd blues for a one-eyed woman, with pots and pans percussion, wobbled oscillation bass cadences.
Sweet Jesus the gospel has gone free jazz, experimental percussion with dark hued bass, tonal shifting abstracted hymnal Avant Garde Sweet Jesus.
Indifference sounds like the opening credits to a modern science fi film set in the most indifferent part of the universe, choral backing floating through, sweetly spectral, while the camera pans across a variety of indifferent alien species, ignoring the totally indifferent humanoids, the locked runout groove ever repeating Indifferent then carries on for the first half hour of the film.
