DEMONS - Evocation

Consisting of Nate Young (Wolf Eyes) and Steve Kenney, Demons explore\r\nnear-epileptic fits of droning synth textures that elicit comfortable\r\nremembrances of electronic-obsessed forefathers like Stockhausen and\r\nCluster whilst simultaneously bludgeoning forward with the grating and\r\nscraping atonal complexities of Whitehouse and Throbbing Gristle.\r\nHaving already rallied a fervorous flux of supporters with\r\ndiscomforting psychedelic multi-media performances and a slew of\r\ncryptic releases, among them this years fetishistic Life Destroyer\r\nbox set, Evocation is an appropriately elaborate and accomplished\r\napproximation of their shrewd identity.\r\nSubterranean analog rumbles compete with laser-sharp extraterrestial\r\nblasts and hums, both contrasts birthing an ominous hallucination of\r\nimpending dread. The four pieces here fixate into an almost narrative\r\nconcoction, forming an abstract portrait that feeds its murky sonics\r\ninto perplexing vibrations that force one forth into their path just\r\nas much as they delight in crafting intriguing unease.\r\nWith artwork contributed by the duos frequent visual collaborator\r\nAlivia Zivich, Evocation, which happens to be Demons first CD\r\nrelease, is as apt a proper declaration as any, seamlessly crafting\r\ntheir steady and intricate synth-scapes with the darkly psychedelic\r\nimages such creations naturally elicit within the psyches of attentive\r\ndevotees. - No Fun.
