Sickness, discomfort, hallucinatory excursions into audio mayhem, moments of clarity, cathartic healing through analog circuitry.
Melding pure exploration with hapless accident, the wretch creates atmospheric moments through brutal walls of sound.
"Ambulatory | A new Kind of Sickness - a new hope for comfort" explores further what was started with "Cyst" - it's a hybrid of noisecore, drum'n'bass, and noiseambient, combined together into an album that travels into unrelenting rhythms, stereo mangling, incidental noises and nuances that will take months to understand but will impact immediately. Almost a tradition now - this album ends with a frantic remix of "Alerting" by Biomechanoid.
"Cyst" is the first album by the wretch - featuring 12 tracks of gut punching mayhem. On this release is also a special remix by Biomechanoid.
This is not sunday morning listening - each track builds upon the next, skittering rhythms cascading together with distorted bass, classic samples from historic educational videos (from The Internet Archive).
Experience responsibly.
The Wretch is a project of Michael Weeks, also of IVILION and etherine.
