This collaboration between psychedelic slurry merchants Yellow Swans and big noise on the big noise scene, John Wiese, begins very much as you'd expect, with a towering hunk of din and colourful mid-fi abrasion. Once 'That's A Lot To Ask' has finished scraping out your ears, 'Evicted CD-R' kicks in with high frequency sine wave tones and near-silence, slowly building up a dark, cloudy atmosphere before plunging headlong into what sounds like an orchestra tuning up in a very big cave, amplified to ridiculous extents. 'Disco Girlfriend' is more consistently abstract, establishing a flaked-out, caustic ambience before 'Happy New Year' mellows out with some airy chimes and only the very slightest, hovering drifts of static. Finally, 'Lost In The Blood' embarks upon a quietly droning journey that finishes with an ominous foghorn conclusion, floating off into the distance.
