Bite itself \ self com split (cassette)


Unfortunately this short tape (under 20 minutes) is sold out. Too bad though because this is some pretty amazing material. Let`s start the first side with Bite Itself performing `abyss`(8.56 minutes): a potent mix of raw noisy outbursts, ambient darkwave, ambient noise with lots of lo-fi nearly silence moments. Simply amazing, you`re always wondering what`s coming up next. Impressive experimental music. On the second side Self Com does three tracks.
1- status report (2.05 minutes) = ambient noise probably made using old school analog synth drones. Too short for my taste buds. I would like to hear a longer (20 minutes perhaps) version of this piece (yes, it`s that damn good).
2- dead space (3.27 minutes) = recalls Syd Barrett`s guitar works. This is better material though: catchy minimal, lo-fi,  psychedelic with a soft eerie voice (what else is there to say).
3- I`m a mean (4.13) = ambient noise + found sounds + more weird, out of this world lo-fi voice = a foggy drug enduced (without drugs) sonic trip. Good stuff.
