Blown Vestige, by Whirling Hall Of Knives

Blown Vestige

by Whirling Hall Of Knives

supported by

Todd Wakefield Definitely missing the beats on this- however still a very nice soundtrack while you go searching for inner peace

Damian Tubbritt Hard music to describe in a way that does it any justice. All I can say is it puts me in a meditative state interrupted by visions of raining shredded mental, lava sucking back into volcanos and a keen sense of the space, sometimes gigantic, sometimes tiny, sounds leave in their wake. Favorite track: Dropship.

about

READ THE EXCLUSIVE WHOK INTERVIEW WITH SUN13: sun-13.com/2022/05/09/whirling-hall-of-knives-interview-corrosion-and-general-murk-prevails/?fbclid=IwAR3TH7l0MJ2udRirlVlYaJhyw9dnD4oZ4f-KaG9kqiowrYlS7-wdyt3uP-g

The 15th album (?!?) from the duo (and their 4th for Cruel Nature), this sees WHOK in a more down-tempo, contemplative mood. Largely devoid of the trademark beats, 'Blown Vestige' layers fuzzed up soundscapes and glitchy electronics, at times straying into dark corners to find My Bloody Valentine hanging-out, cowering from the light.

A collaboration between Magnetize and The Last Sound, Whirling Hall Of Knives' harsh smoldering circuits and eruptions of panicky white noise have a profoundly unsettling quality, a sense of gnawing paranoia but interspersed with moments of almost euphoric epiphany, as if in the grip of an unshakeable 4am psychosis a growing sense that the door will be kicked in at any second and the world outside will come pouring in. Psyche electronics of a particularly greasy and grime-flecked hue. Like Surgeon jamming with Dead C

"This is visceral, attention-demanding music that, despite its relative lack of gratuitous bloodletting, still lays siege to your consciousness with the same steely intent as their more rhythm-centric experiments" (Nic Brown, GonzoKaraoke, gonzokaraoke.wordpress.com/2022/04/08/whirling-hall-of-knives-blown-vestige/)

This is a beautiful album, something I'll listen to a lot as it rewards the first listen but gives plenty to get absorbed into. Not as unforgiving as some WHOK but just as perfectly positioned. Damian Tubbritt
