Okay that just seems insane to me, if only because there's nothing about Garland that says "dub-influenced low-end"

anyway I'm listening to King Night and the comparison seems less apt

"Sick" reminds me of "Bob George" from The Black Album but in a not good way
― corey, Thursday, 28 October 2010 14:31 (thirteen years ago) link
Okay I listened to all of King Night — they've definitely got a precise idea about their style, but there seems to be little variation within that style. I enjoy the hi-bpm slow tempi with the Dirty South-ish quick snare embellishments and the dreamy vocals but I think the rely too much on the same overdriven synth sound. The Yello rap vocals seem like a huge lapse in consciousness, but it could be that it only seems that way and they are being purposefully tasteless. The title track is probably their best and is genuinely scary in a childlike way — "O Holy Night" always seemed to me a creepy song and I think they understand that.

for all of the hoopla this album is actually quite boring and doesn't really incite much of a reaction from me - it's not like terribly bad nor is it some next level shit, and it doesn't even sound particularly "new" or "groundbreaking" or "different" or anything, I'm just not getting it at all guyz.

― humping and bouncing (The Brainwasher), Friday, 29 October 2010 17:53 (thirteen years ago) link
the "worst shit ever" hyperbole is about their live show, not their recorded material

Was anyone else at the Salem show in Shoreditch last night? The venue (a church) was really cool.
― She Got the Shakes, Thursday, 25 November 2010 10:31 (thirteen years ago) link
Yeah, I really enjoyed it. Perhaps not as much as I enjoyed being sat in a Hawksmoor full of dry ice listening to a DJ playing Fad Gadget, TG, The Units... And the support (Becoming Real?) was amazing when this tall gothic girl got up and started body popping like something out of an Aphex Twin video.
I wasn't 100% sure that Heather was singing live, tbh. But Jay, Silent Bob's mate seems to have sorted his rapping out.
― Carl Jung Jeezy (Doran), Thursday, 25 November 2010 11:11 (thirteen years ago) link
It didn't seem like she was singing live. I still really don't like the rap songs, and found the performance of those songs pretty cringey. The other dude strumming the mega-gain'ed out guitar was kind of embarrassing too. The funniest thing to me was when the guy on the side of the stage would lean over and press a button on the smoke machine, and you heard the really loud "hisssssss" as it released the necessary 'atmosphere' into the room.
They only played about 8 songs, I think. It was entertaining in the end, I suppose; I just think they could put on a much cooler show. Even the description from the beginning of this thread from a year ago - Saw these guys play in Rome and they just stood on stage and shared a cigarette while car crash footage played behind them. I have a feeling David Lynch c. "Fire Walk With Me" would've loved them. sounds so much better than the reality!
I'm bummed out I didn't watch the opener now.
― She Got the Shakes, Thursday, 25 November 2010 11:56 (thirteen years ago) link
I enjoyed it, and they've obviously come a long way in terms of actually realising that you need some stage craft since the Fader Fort thing, that I'd go and watch them next year with a fair chance of it being better again. The big Hisssss fitted in with the music and reminded me of the idea of Martin Hannett using aerosol cans as part of the percussion on She's Lost Control.

David Tibet of Current 93 hops on the bandwagon ;_;
Thank you to Matthew Davies at Tangled Parrot for sending me Salem’s King Night and Mater Suspiria Vision’s Zombie Rave Mixtape, both of which I love. Matt introduced me to the Witch House genre, of which I hadn’t previously known, but which I find fascinating.

The most depressing thing about that statement is that someone who has done so much to trash ideas about what 'genre' is supposed to be throughout his entire career has proceeded to talk about 'the Witch House genre' with a goddamn straight face!
