"The World Will End Yesterday"
HAT CITY INTUITIVE/LA OTRACINA/BIG NURSE 3-way split CD-R Colour Sounds Recordings 028
This is the LAST HURRAH, just look around you, The World will end/has ended/won't stop ending, better dig in while you can! It is with this realization of both joy and exhiliration that Colour Sounds presents this offering of collaborative sonic wonder, pushing the density of sound to it's limit and errupting with the most raw of pure tones imaginable. "The World Will End Yesterday" features fearless and immediate sounds from three groups of the noise underground each in pursuance of freedom in a different direction, but all arriving at the same point, TOTALITY!
HAT CITY INTUITIVE have been kicking around the underground of lost musics since 1991, releasing their first LP "Happiness Is A One Trick Pony/Crying Is Shaped Like A Seahorse" on Matt Valentine's Superlux label in 1995, the "They Must be Clapping For...Me" CD on Crank Automotive in 2000, and more
recently two self-isued full lengths "Narrow Miss On The Chamber Pot" and "/....//../..// (grey goose & a whole lotta hydro)". Featuring a large
rotating cast of musicians spread across various North Easters states, this
collective explores the various methods pioneered by AMM, ART ENSEMBLE OF CHICAGO, AMON DUUL, etc, into a flux of cult-laden psychedelic-skronk, multi-directional noise, free-rock, and revolutionary jazz. The three slices of time they've devoted to this compilation sound like what would happen if Ayler performed at one of Kesey's Acid Tests...blasted!
LA OTRACINA is the psychedelic/prog vision of freak-drummer Adam Kriney (of OWL XOUNDS/BLIZZARDS) and since 2003 his collective has explored everything from the most complex-Crimson-esque arrangements, to complete psychedelic-free-improv ala FUSHITSUSHA and GURU GURU, and the cast of members/collaborators has included everthing from stoner/acid-rockers to jazz/fusion headz to some of NYC's finest/fiercest free-improvisors. The single track found on this compilation is a massive slab of drone-layered/warped-freakout/acid-trip/sound collage action, comprised of various live recordings taken from their 2006 "Elliptical Envelopment" tour as the duo of Adam Kriney and Matt Lavallee.
BIG NURSE are a destroying hardcore/noise unit based out of
Nashville/Murfreesboro, TN whose menacing riffs and relentlessly pounding drums are full of devastation ala the crustiest hardcore punk, mixed with a nod to blown-out anti-rock, and layers of overloaded BLACK movement! Their two tracks on this compilation explore both the seeking-improvisational confused/chaos momentum of free-music's liberation as well as a tightness of song explosions on top of it, blazing out and away!
