AMK "Caravan" 4xC10 (Phage Tapes)

AMK is one of those noise guys who has been around for a long long time and even though his is pretty prolific it is always quality. Caravan is no exception, it brings in a mix of beautiful turntable insanity as well as some incredible field recording tacks. Train Stop is probably one of my favorite tracks of 2017 with its gorgeous layering and beautifully captured found sounds.

I was a little put off at first by the format of 4 10 minute cassettes but it all kind of makes sense in the end. Highly recommended!

ACTUARY / DEMONOLOGISTSsplit C40 (Phage Tapes)

I always try to write longer reviews.

I wrote a pretty lengthy review on the horrific album that was Holy Hills, and I really don’t want to write it all over again, so let me just summarize:

This tape is a tragedy. Actuary doesn’t do much more than waste your time. Demonologists doesn’t make music, it makes shit.

I tried to like this. Hand to God, I did. I look for the best in everything… and I promise I couldn’t find it here. This tape may well be the most unemployable tape I own.

Demonologists' Bandcamp

Actuary's SoundCloud

Buy the tape here (but I don't recommend it...)

The opinions of our writers do not necessarily reflect the opinions of Cassettte Gods on the whole. We are very democratic regarding both who gets reviewed and who writes the reviews, but sometimes your blackened noise is not going to end up in the hands of a reviewer with experience in these matters. I say, keep going for it.
