OPEN CITY - The Birth of Cruel

"A gorgeous record of free sound: Through three unsettled pieces, Open City breaks down the formalism of the avant garde, noise and free improvisation to reveal one of todays most distinctive and intense group dynamics. The group use a constant flow of deep drone, pointilistic cut ups, rich texture and silence to create Alpha music. Unrepeatable and unpredictable, aggressively abstract, time-stamped, adaptive, actionist, attentionist, fun. Open City aims for a moment before music, the unsettled pause before a devastating blow. The Birth of Cruel is a generational X-flare, a sound proposition,a coronal mass ejection of propulsive and audible means...................................Enjoy!" - Thinwrist.

"These guys can melt plastic from a block away,and are capable of producing equally delicate traceries of sound a the drop of the proverbial hat. Listen and weep." - Bruce Russell (The Dead C, Corpus Hermeticum).
