SISSY SPACEK  Wastrel Projection  CD   (Handmade Birds)   11.99


I'll get anything that Sissy Spacek puts out, but my favorite stuff of theirs will also be the nuclear-blast noisecore recordings found on releases like Dash, the self-titled debut and the Gore Jet 7". When operating in this mode, the quartet of bassist/tape mangler John Wiese (ex-Bastard Noise), drummer Charlie Mumma (also of experimental death/black metallers Knelt Rote and L'Acephale), guitar-wrecker Jesse Jackson and vocalist Corydon Ronnau unleash a hurricane of grind-filth and garbled blast violence that is relentlessly brutal. But caveat emptor: this Cd only has about five and a half minutes of music on it. Like some of the other Sissy Spacek CDs, you don't get a whole lot of bang for your buck, but this Ep does happen to be some of the best fucking noisecore I've heard in ages, and anyone into the short sharp shock violence of this kind of stuff will probably adore what the band has coughed up for Wastrel Projection.

There are thirty-two "songs" on Wastrel Projection, and most of them do not break the eleven second mark. You get a mixture of hyperspeed blurr blasts and pure noise pieces, with some of the more coherent tracks throwing out chunks of punk guitar and reverby recording; in these moments, it sounds as if you are listening to some L.A. hardcore punk band from the early 80's being sped up and cut apart/re-assembled by Karlheinz Stockhausen. Complete insanity, with lots of hyperfast edits and garbled tape, the sound becoming so extreme at times that it seems as if the disc itself is decomposing beneath the assault of the ultra-distorted chopped-up thrashcore.

These guys have pretty much taken over as the current reigning kings of American noisecore. And as with their other noisecore releases, its absolutely crucial for anyone into the micro-blast blurr savagery of 7 Minutes Of Nausea, Nikudorei, Anal Cunt, Gerogerigegege, CSMD, Arsedestroyer, Nihilist Commando and New York Against The Belzebu. Released in jewel case packaging with an obi card in a limited edition of two hundred copies.
