CHERRY POINT, THE ⁄ IS  ...  7" VINYL   (Rococo Records)   8.98


Limited to only one hundred and fifty copies, this 7" features one long track each from harsh noise producers Cherry Point and Is. Cherry Point kicks this off with a savage blizzard of metallic rumble, howling amplified scrape, and deep bass-heavy vibrations, cranking up one of the dense slabs of icy sheet-metal roar that this project is known for. After the initial destruction wrought by that expanding harsh noise wall, the side shifts into a field of heavy electrical reverberations, the steady hum of a generator beneath thunderous percussive noise and ominous howls that stretches across the remainder of the a-side.

On the other side, the Midwestern harsh noise/drone project Is generates a chaotic din of writhing feedback and heavy speaker roar that ruptures black gouts of distorted screech and piercing lashes of high end feedback. It's not long before grinding tectonic bass frequencies begin to move in, turning the sound into a wall of feedback drone that eventually melts down into an awesome overdriven roar of distorted synthesizer, surrounded with grainy 8-bit static and blocks of churning low-end hiss. A constantly evolving blast of structured electronic skullscrape.

Each copy is hand-numbered, and is pressed on black vinyl.
