Dollmeat – rabid (bootleg tape)

From Tampa Bay, Florida, USA comes the lovely \ wild \ strange \ bizarre Dollmeat. I got this as a trade. It says that the music is experimental, gothic and other (me think the real definition is out there). This mini album (22.50 minutes) is a mix of voice, low- fi voice, screams, minimal electronics (with ambient undertones), percussions, percussive noise, violin, found sound mixed with lots of unidentifiable samples. The vox is the instrument of choice here. It generates, creates the mood and the ambience all along the listen. I can feel consciously or unconsciously various influences at work: This Mortal Coil, Cocteau Twins, Aghast (track 3), and GREENman (PPFR era, on track 4). This is not a user friendly album. Normality is so boring (insert here your flavor of the day, forgettable, one hit wonder band or artist), so I really like this. This is original because Dollmeat does her own thing and doesn`t seem to follow trends. This album is scary, it`s a  non stop scary, hazy, schizophrenic hellride. It would be the perfect soundtrack to Nekromantic and Guinea Pig movies, yes it`s that good. And it`s true, it`s damn true. More info on her website:
