about

By pushing the boundaries of what a bow and a pair of drumsticks can deliver, the Montreal-based viola and drums duo Hangedup mesmerised audiences for years. The band steadily expanded its strategies and sonics over its 5-year history and was at the peak of its powers with Clatter For Control, the third and final full-length. Gen’s bi-amplified viola rig, linked to a live audio looper, creates a vortex of jigs, reels and air-raid drones, pummeled along by some of the heaviest polyrhythmic skinbeating we’ve ever heard. An unbelievably beautiful racket that finds the band utterly on fire, swooping and slamming around with varying degrees of controlled chaos. Both noisier and more melodic than anything they had yet put to tape, Hangedup raised their compositional and improvisational bars on Clatter For Control. Eric and Gen played as if sharing the same cortex and spine.

“Klang Klang”, “Go Let’s Go” and “Junk The Clatter” are the structured, syncopated anchors for an album that ventures deep into noise and improv territory, drenched in beautiful distortions and saturations, the each player listening and responding to the other. “Fuck This Place” adds electric bass by Harris Newman (solo, Hrsta, Sackville) and also marked Hangedup’s first use of vocals, with Gen screaming through her viola pick-up as the song growls through crackling punches. Quieter textural explorations like “A Different Kind Of Function” offer brief respite from the onslaught.

"Luciferian Towers"
by Godspeed You! Black Emperor

supported by 4 fans who also own “Clatter For Control”

After being a bit underwhelmed by LYSFLATH! and God's Pee, my expectations were low going in on this record, which probably really helped my enjoyement! While the other 2 records were also pretty good, I was just let down by the expectations that other people have built especially around the first one. But Luciferian Towers is so powerful and uplifting, really diverse in its rhythms and instrumentation. Also much more melody and a more sensible amount of repetition than on the other 2 records minisculebarber

Devotional
by The Lord † Petra Haden

supported by 4 fans who also own “Clatter For Control”

Heavenly and blissful drone music to fully surrender into the divine presence of the Godhead, The Lord along with Petra Haden's angelical voice brings us the mystical experience in this musical mantra where we're driven in celestial ecstasy and joyful wanderlust amidst the holiness of each song that compels to worship creation with the sound of the sacred spheres. Pure musical beauty to leave you gleeming in magnificent awe. josedenoche
