Artist: HOBO SONN Title: Wary The Mind Format: LP Label: Amen Absen Country: Canada Price: $18.00 |
| "Wary the Mind is the long awaited second LP by Hobo Sonn following the self-released debut - The Thundering Nature of Reality. Constructed using electronics, effects, piano, sampler, mixer, field recordings, etc., this album presents an audible voyage that meticulously weaves together seemingly random reference points into a cohesive yet perplexing whole. Side one begins with processed feedback shifting amongst tape hiss/static and muted drones where intermittent signals of disintegrated sound seep in like a new breath and then recede leaving near silence. This sparseness provides the opportunity to contemplate the space between each frequency and brings to focus the sequence of the sounds as they have been assembled. A hypnotic and glistening piece for piano introduces the second side which evolves into an electronic buzz accented by a raga-esque feedback swirl coaxed from the unexpected sound-source. The well placed field recordings, with the chimes, clatter and chattering, bring things to a gently decaying conclusion. The album is pressed in an edition of 330 copies." - Amen Absen. |

"Highly recommended slab of bedroom concrete, electronic blurb and lo-fi tape mangle"- Chocolate Monk, D.Nyoukis.
"This ones a big-time winner, and just in time for those wretchedly cold winter nights. Hobo Sonn is the solo guise of the UKs Ian Murphy. Hes in a bunch of groups like Gryn Brvs and Copper Mahks. This is one thick slab of luscious wax, gritty to the bone and full of spastic, electronic drones. What makes this thing so great, though, is how it seamlessly alternates between harsher landscapes and sickly sweet drones. Add in some mangled tape loops and buckets of hiss and youre getting in the ballpark. Its like a twisted acid flashback for someone whos never dropped acid. You want on this scuzzy ride and youll just want to keep riding it over and over and over. Big time recommendation" - Foxy Digitalis, B.Rose.
