“Cannon Street Road’s Feedback Rituals” is a collection of
songs by Year of the Lips (Gab
Marras) put to tape. The tape starts off with a quick electronic whir that
leaves the listener defenseless, I like! “Cannon Street Roads” the first track
on the tape is a relentless onslaught of avant garde electronics mixed with
guitar that makes for sensory overload. Marras continues to trick the listener
throughout side A by lulling you into drone slumber then immediately hitting
you over the head with aggressive drum machine patterns. This stuff reminds me
of an infinitely more melancholy dark wave Aphex Twin, with fewer hooks. There
are vocals and organ like things that pitter-patter in on the b-side but I don’t
think it benefits this tape.
This tape is best when it is raw, visceral and aggressive. A
distant memory the crushes you every time you think about it. Check this work
out!
