CRIB DEATH Shake Well CDR (OhNoNo) 5.00Another capsule of depraved underground weirdness from the Canadian cd-r/vinyl imprint Ohnono, Shake Well is a two-track CD-R from the Montreal electronic noisecore collagist Crib Death, comprised of two untitled 17 minute tracks that (as you might have guessed from the project's name and the disc's title) are underscored with a pitch black sense of humor and downer vibes. The first is an unsettling electronic dirge that stretches on forever, a plodding distorted electronic rhythm setting off miniature bomb blasts over layers of digital distortion, electronically manipulated recordings of an infant, samples of dialogue, and a general vibe of misanthropy and contempt that turns the minimalist dronescape into a noxious dismissal of human value. And then the second track seems to be a reversed version of the first, a mirror image with the sounds and rhythms crawling backwards like an LP decoding pathetic satanic prophecies, sounding even more sickly and alien than before. Disturbing, transgressive gutter electronics, like a Swans spoken word tape collage piece being appropriated by some pedal-humping basement noise trogolodyte. Issued in a limited edition of 100 copies with obnoxious cover images of a grown man dressed in infant's clothing; apparently the first 35 copies of this disc include a new, sealed, latex condom, in keeping with the weird population control theme.
