The Kerchow label is a small cassette only label out of
chino hills. I have had the pleasure of having have them writ for some time
now, and sending various expenditures my way. They always catch me eyes, but I
have no time to write, and thus like most hard working men I cant divert my
exercise routine to typing on computer, as much as I should, and instead - let you all sit listless.
Though - - - this new one. Lets call it “mystery tape number
one” – really grabbed me. It’s a short jaunt, and it eclipses everything I
kinda love about music. Its abstract, obscure, semi-poetic, grabbing and
strangling, head scratching, and is above all – mysterious. ??????
It’s a sorta collage of pre-recorded dump (I think) All
mixed in a haze, but making a conformed statement. I have done my time in sound
collage myself, and I always enjoyed doing something in a similar vein. In where
it just grasps the hint of melody or structure, while melding all these obtuse
parts together. At times its really just about repetition, and simple and maybe
not messed with too much.
Its confounding…cause its really good. So yas should go get
it. Its probly pocket change anyway.
